Default Soft top replacement help

I'm trying to install a new soft top on my 01. I bought the EZ top with the glass upgrade, from topsonline.com. I'm stuck on the part with attaching the new top on the side frame rails. I read the step by step instructions and I'm still lost. I also need help with the tension strap, I can't figure out where it goes.

Any help would be appreciated.

I also installed an EZ-On glass top in my 2005 back in January. I actually made the mistake of riveting that tension cable without slipping it into the fabric "tunnels" on either side of the soft top. Looked like crap, and I had to fix it.

Like I said, you can see there's a cloth tunnel on either side which is made long enough to hide that tension cable from where it rivets in the front to where it screws in the back. I ended up buying a long thing screw retriever thing (i suck at car terminology) that is used to pull out dropped screws in your engine bay, etc. I fed the retriever through the tunnel, grabbed the spring, and pulled it through the narrow tunnel, then screwed the spring part, and riveted the front part in place.
