Latching a Blazer top

Would anyone have a pic of how the top is latched to the body to keep it held down? I'm very curious to know because I have a brain fart about my next project.

Four bolts along the bed rails, one at each sunvisor and two "L" brackets on the windshield header. There are also two brackets that bolt down by the tail gate.

The bed rail bolts are different for single and double wall tops. Which version are you thinking about?
