Hey thanks for the responses! I am sure I can come up with something.

it's also used by the Pavement Ends Emergency top. There's a strap that goes down to this point and holds the front of the emergency top down.

Second set of straps with the snaps are to hold up the rolled up back window.

the snapped ones go on the top inside of the rear bow of the softop to hold the rear window up if you decide to roll it up. (the male half of the snap is riveted to the bow)
