Those rear straps are tacked (stapled) to the rear body tack strip before the top is installed.

Note that the interior side of those rear panels have snaps. These serve two purposes. One, they fasten the previously mentioned loop to the outboard side of each panel and accept the (only one each side) female snap of the top boot when covering the lowered top assembly.
