It's not an easy problem when it comes to search words, but here's an alternative to your YT video.

I've go this problem with a new top I put on. Its obviously an aftermarket one (came with the car when I purchased it) and doesn't have the elastic straps to pull it in. I want to try and rig something up so if anyone call tell me about where the "fabric tabs" should be on the top I would appreciate it.

I had the same problem when I was messing around with the top. For me, it wasn't the elastic, but some plastic tab that was flopping back and forth because I forgot to tuck it behind a metal spring. I found the answer online, but totally forgot where it was lol.

Anyway, it's this metal strip with the two bolts. Make sure it's actually doing its job.

Probably to short but you'll get the point!
