Soft top cover

Can anyone show me how the front edge of the soft top is finished off? Does the leather wrap around or just finished flush with the edge?
Thanks everyone

Col,
I took these photos when I dismantled my soft top cover -- have not installed new leather. Hope these tell the story.

Thanks Oz that's perfect. It also shows proof that there is foam below. I used 5mm but it would have been better I think if it was 2-3mm foam.

When I did mine I used this: MAGZO Foam Rubber Sheet Rolls, 1/16 Inch Thickness x 12 Inch Width x 4.9 Feet Length Closed Cell Neoprene Rubber with Adhesive Soundproof Padding,Soft/Medium Hardness - Freely Customizable

It isn’t an easy piece to do. I remember a fair bit of cursing. I do remember the MB-tex (in my case) wrapping under at the ends.
