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 !
As stated the elastic cord is not connected to the rain channel or whatever it is called - both were much further down and as the photo shows must be at the bottom below the glass window or thereabouts. I can't see where they are connected to because they are so low down near the back of the seats.

I purchased a set of the steel ball sockets (no rod assembly) from ******************************** Hamilton and they came in a bag marked FCP Euro I think. Very good quality. One of the elastic cords was actually wrapped around the ball socket possibly causing the failure.
