Thank you!!
see post #45 and #46 here for instructions:
Since I’ve been getting a lot of questions about canvas …here is a list of the do’s and don’ts 
I have military coated canvas...Ehsan’s canvas is waxed…but should be taken care of in the same manner as military canvas and any coated canvas.
1) To clean canvas, do not remove it from the vehicle. Either brush it dry with a stiff brush, or hose it off with clean water only.
NEVER brush or rub canvas when wet!!!
Doing this will remove the canvas finish which consists of the color and the water/mildew resistant preservative.
2) Canvas stores best on a vehicle that’s stored...

Could possibly be OEM but probably not. Early FSTs model a similar channel was spot welded to the windshield frame. The first removable channels were shaped the same way. I bought a complete set of OEM bows and an old Kayline top here back in 2009. These were off a 67 and channel matches the earlier shape that was spot welded to the windshield. Have bows from a 69 and it matches the later one with more bends. My guess the channel changed with the 68 model. There was a number of changes with 68 model. 67 is red to match the bows. 69 the channel is pewter color that matches my 73's channel.
