Default Bestop Bikini on a 2010 2 door - How to make it fit?

On the old TJ the Bestop Bikini was great! But on the JK well not so sure.

I have a bikini to fit a 2010 JK 2 door. The rear and front are all good but the sides are not so. The instructions are crap and they mention a hook and loop, what hook and loop?

I have a few loose straps but I have no points of attachment to the bikini. The velcro wrap around wont fit the door surround. So how do I attach the sides? Do they just stay loose and flap in the wind?

Any ideas?
Thanks Vic

If you have door surounds then :
The velcro towards the front off the bikini wrap around the door surounds. The velcro inthe middle don't. Just put the channel in the door suround and don't worry about the middle velcro.

If you don't have door surrounds:
The velcro should wrap around.

RubiKing, yes I know what you are saying. Thats how the TJ worked. But on the 2010 JK there is no front velcro and there is no plastic strip on the bikini and there is no channel on the door surround.
