remove the truck cab and then drill the front rail through those
holes.
there is a rubber seal that goes below it (water gets forced through
at 'speed' otherwise. Same seal as should already be there on the
truck cab (though you may want to buy a new one if it is very old as
it will probably collapse when you touch it). I think they cost £5 or
so or you could just find your own bit of rubber strip from elsewhere
(that is all it is).
The rest of it should be fairly straight forward. fix the hoops for
the tightening straps above the screen to the vertical(ish) face of
the top ragtop rail not the screen top so that you never have to
remove them again.
