You know, it just occurred to me when you asked that I might not have the terms right.  I was assuming they are the pieces of hardware that you attach to the sides of the poptop that emulate rain gutters, and then you can attach the towers to them.

But it could be that I have my terminology all wrong, and that's not what they are!  In which case I probably don't have side loaders!
