Hello!

I mounted the roadster top today. Since there is a tubular tube made of linen fabric parallel to the upper window frame. Inside. The diameter like a broom stalk.

What comes in there?

That tube is a wind breaker for the top. snaps on it attach to the top of the windshield to prevent a breeze from coming over the windshield.

Hello,

I may have misunderstood this? But this pictured fabric tube is inside. It has no press buttons.

It functions as a seal, just like the material inside the door jam at home. The buttons snap, and that flap creates a seal between the top of the windshield and the fabrics pressed to prevent air travel or drafts...they may have left a cardboard dowel in the fabric when they were sewing it. The top looks fine. Congratulations!!!
