Bungee Kit and then some

The picture to the left is what came in the kit, the picture to the right is what I expected. Any ideas as to what the other parts are for?

If you look closely in the upper left corner of the kit you will see two springs attached to straps. I did look around with the top partially open and could see nothing that resemble those parts.

Thanks for your input.

Update: this is the correct part# and parts, there is a TSB on the convertible top that includes retrofit of many new/added parts to eliminate the top hitting the tonneau cover or snapping shut.

Very simple steps as long as you have watched this video and have the proper tools.
