Default Coupe birdcage hoop attachment stackup

Hello all,

I am in the process of rebuilding my 1977 and I am looking to understand the stack up of the fiberglass on the bottom of the overhead hoop area. I know there are flat pieces of fiberglass that have adhesive and are glued to the front and rear fiberglass around the hoop of the birdcage. The front of the fiberglass (back side of t-tops area) looks good, but it seems that I am missing something on the rear attachment point in front of the rear window.

If anyone would mind finding a drawing, or taking pics of one, I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you,
Joel
