Here is a diagram of the parts in question. DC Auto has them or Suncoast Porsche. Hope this helps. http://dcauto.gotdns.com/illustration/index/161095310

That's where (red arrow) the locking levers are installed.
OEM windscreen just snaps into them

Sasha

PS: I'll take a pic tomorrow morning so you can see how it looks installed

ok so based on the url and the pics and your pics. the latches are totally separate from both the head rest and the middle insert. seems they would get lost if not connected to anything.

seems easy enough to buy two latches i guess. then buy this aftermarket which is for the money a better deal than oem to me.

Sorry it took so long to take promised pics

Levers are attached to Windscreen.
Winscreen is attached to the bar between seats using levers.

In the pictures:

1. Lever is attached to windscreen
2. That's my bar between the seats, looks just like your, nothing needs to be there
3. Winscreen is locked to the bar using levers

Thanks
Sasha
