Model T Sedan top question

I've got a pretty good diagram of how the wood slats intertwine for the roof of the Model T Sedan, but I am unsure of how the vinyl affixes to the top/body. I'm working with a real stripped down T, and every single photo reference I have is either not close enough to see how it's attached, or the entire roof is missing.

Any insight would be great. Thanks guys,

Hey Jason,
A friend of mine has a chassis shop and there is a T there with a stock top and the roof stuff is on it. I'll check it out Saturday while I'm over there working.
I think that the vinyl just stretches down the sides alittle and gets tacked on. Then a finishing strip, that matches the vinyl,tacks over top of that.
I'll take the wifes camera and get a few pics. I'll just have to figure out how to post the pictures. Have fun,Smokey
