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

The original wind stop is a complete piece of clear plastic with a black plastic reinforcements on 3 sides.... there is a groove at the bottom of the black plastic (that fits to protruding plastic piece on the lower part of your roll bar) and there are 2 latches on either side of the wind stop that fits into the plastic attachment on your roll bars...

Based on your pictures, you already have all the necessary plastic pieces on your car, you just need to right wind stop to fit.

I got my original lexan wind stop from ebay... don't think it was that expensive.. That's what you need... it's a complete piece with the latches and all..

yeah im on the google hunt. since im bald i dont really need one but i think the cosmetic affect from the etched/tinted aftermarket one i put an url up for would look great. that being said, i cant spend new money on an oem piece that i just want to borrow pieces from.
