3/4 Canvas Tilt fitting

Would anyone be able to post a picture of how a series 3/4 hood is supposed to fit around the window at the back of the cab please?

I have the proper goal post channel around the window but can't work out what is missing from the canvas to keep it fitted to the channel.

Thanks.

Not got pictures, can take some tomorrow. My S2a has a new Exmoor 3/4 canvas. There are 3 aluminium strips that fit into the canvas where it sits over the ‘goal post’ and keep the canvas in the channel.

There are leather straps on the hood each side, at the bottom of the goal post section that fit over nipples on the drain channels at the bottom of each goal post upright. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

I made my own. You need 3 strips, that will slide in the pockets around the canvas goalpost surround.
Mine have holes in the top corners to bolt them together.
Make sure you De-burr properly or they will cut into the canvas.
