Ryan,
On mine, this plate is attached (glued?) to the actual fabric of the
soft-top in such a way that this layer of fabric sits between the plate
and the paintwork, protecting the paint. I assume this is original, but
I don't know for sure. As for the attachments, yes it's just bolted in
by two bolts (the holes are next to the holes for the hard-top, slightly
inside them).
Hope that helps,
