Default T-Top storage

I tried a search but all that came up was T-Top bags.
Can someone please post a picture of the proper rear storage for T-Tops. My C3 is a 79. I'm ready to do a rear speaker & sub build but I want my tops to go in like they should. Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the 79 is similar to the 73. The tops store stacked on top of each other (bottoms together) in the middle of the rear compartment. I know earlier years had an X-strap setup where the tops sat side by side propped up on the wheel wells, but they changed to the Y-strap sometime before 73.

That's how mine were in 78. I used the covers but never bothered with the strap.

Thanks guys. I'm ready to start. Along with your pics and info, Art sent me some pics of his set up. It's kinda like what I had in mind and I have a few of my own twists to add. I'll post some some build pics.
