Hey guys! So I've got a 2013 2 door JK. I just bought this thing not even 3 weeks ago and have already had a heck of a time with the top. The dealership I got it from was missing the side bows altogether, told me to come back and they'd swap tops but the mechanic wasn't there, it's been a s*** show. So I've got the frame off a 2015 wrangler and a new rampage soft top on it that I just put on today. The whole thing went on as smoothly as it can I guess except a few things. For one, where the heck does this tensioning spring connect to? Am I missing more stuff for this top see pics below. How are the straps supposed to be routed? I had them riveted in but when I pulled the back down to latch it in place, the straps popped off the rivets. Too tight I'd assume. And last, do I have a totally different style of top vs frame? My header has a pretty strange gap between it and the top and the center bar has no holes drilled into it to attach it to the top (the old top was velcrowed over it), and theres no place to attach the tensioner spring from what I can see. I'm worried I need to go hunt down a whole new bow assembly or something. Any advice would be a huge help. Thanks!
What do I need for this soft top?

Our Rampage top is on our TJ, so it's quite different than what is shown in your photo, but I have tried to obtain replacement parts and tech support from them in the past and found their overall customer service to be terrible.
I wonder if they have a set of instructions on their website that might show how these parts interact w/ one another?

I can't find anything on their website. It came with instructions but they're pretty vague and the pics in the instructions are so zoomed in, you can't tell where on the top you're supposed to be looking.
