Default what are these?

Hoping someone could tell me what these are for. The small velcro straps I know are to hold the arms when sunrider is flipped. but the longer straps with the buttons? are they to wrap around the top when its down? didnt get any with my top and shockingly never noticed til now.

the longer ones with the button are for your rear window. the button buttons to the metal bar above the window so you can roll it up and then loop your window though so you can have the top up and the back window open.

If you look on the rear frame bar for the soft top, you should see two snaps on the bar one on each end toward the front. Use the stretch straps with the snaps to hold the rear soft window while its rolled up and the top is up

Tford is a faster typer than I am

Why bother? Go to nearby dollar store and buy some Velcro.
You can cut it to size and not worry about buttons and such.
Cheap. Effective. Instantly available.

i wouldnt buy them if i could make them! they are a stretchy material i would rather have the strap made out of a solid material or something to tighten or loosen the strap. when you drive around the window hangs a little low and it bounces and is in the way of the rear view mirror
