Question Is there a definitive leatherback top method?

Tried google, tried the search function on here, but i cannot find the definitive guide to installing the top of the leatherback sedans.
What i would like to know is if the back piece is done with a join in the fabric in the middle of the window or in 3 pieces with a seam either side of the window? Does this make a difference?
Also should the top piece be sewn to the rear piece (If so, what should the join be like? Or should the rear piece be tacked on and then the top piece over the top? That might be easier but might leak through capillary action?
Do these things matter? Or should i strive to be correct?
