This vid will help. If the little black plastic anchors come off with the pad, simply unscrew them off the pad and push them onto the roll bar before you put the pad back on.

Yes, if you make your own they probably won't have tabs

Here's what the OE screens look like and the 3 tabs:

Here's a pic that shows the tabs on the original wind deflectors:

I do not recommend allowing an elephant to sit on the original deflectors.

When I first made mine, I was going to have a folded edge to fit inside the rollbar. It was unnecessarily complicated.



My recommendation is to just use a flat sheet cut from the perforated aluminum. Make a cardboard template that rests against the rollbar slightly within the curvature of the back. I didn't have to remove the padding to apply the zip-tie, but just slid it underneath. A thin strip of 3M tape applied to the rubber edge will secure them and be less visible than the zip-tie - I may do that later.
