I can not tell from your photo what you are showing me. But I included a image of from the parts manual.

The hydraulic cylinder is part 47. That connect to the hinge which is part 42. There are two bolts that go through the hinge in to the hydraulic cylinder 53 and 44. This are what is referenced in the links in the earlier post. If you took the bolts out, it would allow you to manually lift or lower the top.

Also if you take the side panels off where the back seat and quarter windows are, you should see the hydraulic cylinders and should be able to actually see how they connect.
