Vinyl Curtain question

[63buglover]

Good evening,

I recently purchased a '97 Boxster that hadn't been well taken care of.

I have a question about the vinyl curtain that goes behind the top and firewall to direct water to the drains. Mine was detached completely. I know the cables that hold the top down go into the slots about 8" from each end, and the plastic clips at each end must on somewhere at the base of the top mechanism. But I can't figure out where the long plastic channel clips onto, unless it is supposed to clip underneath the rubber seal at the rear of the top. If so, is the free vinyl between the channel and the slots also supposed to be tucked under the seal?

Thanks for info and the help on this forum!

At the rear of the engine bay are two (2) clips one on each side that the channel fits into to. Here is a photo of the passenger side.

Aha! I had been thinking the channel went to the tension bow, with the vinyl finish to the weather, rather than to the interior. I have it securely fastened now - thanks!
