e36 restring convertible headliner

I have to try here on this and am not a usual poster. It is winter and I am fixing the headliner in my 1996 328Ic. It is a semi automatic top. Pretty straight forward and have ordered the, "dog ears" (Bavauto) and have glued them into the headliner. I am keeping the current headliner as it is in good shape and the only issue is the plastic sticky liner on the bottom (of the headliner) was failing - when I pulled the headliner - had to scrape it all off and (for me) no reason to replace the fabric - all looks good.

I glued the dog ears in and am ready to install... but for the stringing. Have not been able to find anything on how the strings go. Now to be sure - I have several online plans and have looked at them but things are not taken in a step by step manner.

The layout that I have is the strings sewn in to the edge of the headliner on each side (two each side). I don't see this as an issue, but several of the Youtube and other sites do not go over any of the restringing details especially on the sewn in. I cut the strings when I took the headliner off, then took pictures, but realized that someone was in there before me, so I want to restring as stock. I will be able to re sew the strings on once I figure the stringing layout process.

There are two screwed string ends with a grommet on each side. I need to figure how these connect with the dog ears and how the strings go through all the grommets.

My sense is that this top has a lot of extra places to string since it was made for the entire run of years - from manual to automatic. I want to see the stringing for this particular model and year. I know I am asking a lot.

If there is someone out there who has a stock convertible of the same - who can pull the top back to expose the strings and several pictures - I would appreciate it and will reciprocate in any way I can.

Thanks.
