Default 1977 photo needed

Could someone with a 77 T Top car take a T Top out and take a photo of underneath the top and the area
on the body where the rear of the T Top latches to body.
And the weatherstripping going up the rear of the door.
Either side would not matter
Would be greatly appreciated
Dave

Default T top

Greatly appreciated.......I did watch the video but it's not for the same year top and different. Im.aware theres a Stainless piece on the front of the T Top and the outer.
I also among the parts is a Black thin molded piece of plastic that appears to cover the latches but something goes under it first because the latches are to tall.
Not real sure on Weatherstripping on Body at back of door
And the plates the T Top Latch grabs on the body.
From watching the video I believe I want the Weatherstripping on the body before I glue the Weatherstripping above the door glass to make sure window is properly aligned???
That much I learned from video.
Thanks So Much.........Car was in pieces

It looks like tutermoe beat me to the pic ' s!
I' m almost glad he did because apparently I'm missing the brackets that lock the top down that are mounted on the body !
I took pics of the tops with and without the headliners in so I'll include those with this and hope that helps some !
