I think its on wires.
It has three or four lines to keep it tight running side to side. It also is perforated. You can push it up and feel the nuts/bolts that hold the rack down.

ahy yes
ok at the rear of it its folded into a sort of U channel, you need to get it out of this , and if yoiu take the door seal off you will find its wrapped and glued round the lipm the seal fixes to , same at the screen but i would leave that end as its screen out job and the rest should do , in fact try just the cab openings first as this should give enough slack/access to get your grubby mits into
