Osso, you also bring up another 'question' in that all of the tops I've installed on Round-Tails have the 'inserts' for wrapping the bows. I'm not sure that the floating bow was ever meant to be held in place with the wrap. Unfortunately this is a photo of my own '69 and you can see the strap I'm referring to attached to the floating bow and also that it had ripped out of the wrap.
That said, the current client's '69 Spider's floating bow is wrapped and having just checked, it actually does 'fall into place' without help. Note, the top is one of the first things I remove on Spiders and the last thing I install so this top is rather 'new' to me. It also has only one strap attached on the passenger side (the other is torn) and goes from the middle bow, attaches to the floating bow, then attaches to the header. That said, I want to instruct the upholsterer as to how to attach it and guess this is as good as any way. Also, he'll seldom be opening and closing it.
