You loop it around the knob to help secure the panel. It's a backup.

Seriously? Wouldn't have thought that. Tried it, and it is perfect length. Ron

Yup...only way to prevent panel from folding down on it's own once you push that end of the roof up...
Loop around knob and use snap to secure.

It's a belt-and-suspenders thing -- but can be a good idea in high winds.

Guess a strong wind from the rear could fold the panel. Ron

Yup...and, judging from our limited experience, if I ever put on the two Fantastic Fans on "high" at the same time with the windows closed and no strap on the rear panel those fans will suck that top down on us!...

Mine needs that strap. Not to say that it won't stay up without it but its iffy.
