You will need to fabricate a tack or staple strip around the top of body opening outside to tack the lower edge of top material , the tacks are coveted by a strip of hidden welt.The tack strip could be made from heavy water proof oiled type paper about 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick.my 35 RD had a small Chanel that this paper fit in,I don't see one on yours ,maybe use small sheet metal screws ever few inches or make a channel
