* Bow straps: These straps attach the bows (the metal supports that give the top its shape) to the Jeep's roll bar.
* Door surrounds: These fabric pieces connect the soft top to the doors, providing additional stability and weather protection. They often have snaps or zippers that attach to the doors and the soft top itself.
* Tailgate bar: This bar (if equipped) provides support for the rear of the soft top and typically attaches to the tailgate or the body near the tailgate.
* Fasteners: Numerous fasteners are used, including snaps, zippers, and sometimes hook-and-loop fasteners (Velcro), depending on the brand and model of the soft top.
* Clamp-on fasteners: These can be used to secure the top to the windshield frame.
Therefore, it's not just one thing, but a system of straps, fasteners and attachments securing the frame and soft top to the Jeep's structure.
