I'm going to respond to this to tell my quick success story. I've had broken tab wind screens since I bought the car. Unlike James, I did not have the other piece of the tab so mine were pretty much useless. Had both bottom tabs but the top tab was gone. Hemmed and hawed on spending the coin to buy new ones until I found this thread.
Pretty simple repair and embarrassed I waited this long. Bought hack saw blades, rivets and a rivet gun. Had a rotary tool but honestly you don't need it. Broke off a piece of hacksaw blade, I did about two inches. Drilled a hole on the base l close to the back of the tab area. Did the same on one side of the blade. Used the rivet to put them together. Then bent the front half of the blade up enough to create a snug fit. Fed the bent part into the groove at the top of the roll bar then locked in the bottom tabs. Adjust as needed to ensure a tight fit. Better to have too much blade length so you can either break it off or cut it if needed. Mine now fit snug and arguably better than new. Will try to get some pics in a few days.
