If that is the hardtop that was recently on Ebay I seem to remember something about the bits sticking out the back (circled) needing to go under the rear lip running around the back of the cockpit. Do you have the two latches on either side of the car, just behind/beside the seats?
Did the previous owner give you hints as fitting it.....you could always contact them?

Wow thats an old photo
No idea about these PSI ones but the stock Mazda one has this sort of clip in mechanism there, which I would assume is what should have been there on yours. A bigger hole towards the back for the head of the frankenstien bolt to fit in, then a smaller cutout for the shaft of the bolt to slide in to. The whole thing is then hidden by a nice shiny cover piece.

The underside of the clip kinda looks like that but more round and less crap. I tried looking for a photo but I feel that this still gets the point across.
I'd be talking with the supplier as something is obviously missing there.

Is that a perspex window? Do you want to swap for a proper glass one?
