69 442 Convertible roof advice.

So I had an unfortunate moment and the rear screen in my 69 442 Smashed. Can anyone offer any advice on how the lower rail fixes into the car. The window zips in at the top but I need to release it at the bottom, can anyone help with a diagram?
Any advice appreciated,
thanks

Your window zips in? That ain't from the factory, so I have no idea how it works.

Think it attaches to panel between the trunk lid and window. Should see the bolts from inside the trunk.

It’s an ezon replacement roof that fixes in through all the factory fixings.
Id like to find out how the rear trim bar etc is held in.

The rear lower bar is U shaped and there is a single shoulder bolt on each forward end of the U.

Hi
thanks for helping, I’ve located the bolts you mention. Have you dissembled one before. Is it straight forward enough to release. Do you have experience of realigning the roof fabrics after.
Any advice you can offer would be appreciated,
thanks
