convertible Top Replacement Part?
 

OK, here is a ghost part, nobody knows what it is and isnt in any drawing...plus I need it to replace my top.
If you review this video, at 14:30 roaring tigers has the same problem but his is fixable, mine is gone, beyond repair because most of it is missing.

Anyone faced this and found another way to hold tension on the center rib with a 3 rib plastic window top for 2001 boxster?

found it in comments from the video and will just bite the bullet on the 200 bucks. The replacement part number for the retainer strip is 986-561-902-01 this one has center channel for the top and the rear channel for the headliner to attach. Part #: 986-561-902-00 is for the earlier Boxster that did not have a headliner.

I couldn't figure out which part watching the video at 14:30, but is this it:

I could probably get one from and old top if you want a used one cheap.

thats the part. That one is for a top without headliner. Thanks for the offer, thats very kind of you, however I already bought one from the dealer, as I am on a time constraint.

I would hold onto them, I expect most people redoing a top could use it.
