Are these mystery cords attached to the roof canvas or to the much thinner rain screen skirt?
BTW the plastic Ball sockets are available on FleBay -no need to buy the whole rod assy. You can also get a steel upgrade. I am trying a 90 degree, s/s part that would normally be used on a Gas Strut. I'll post results when the parts arrive from HK - less than $4 for 2 !
Here is some excellent Top fix procedures from WAyne:
