Wind deflector issue

[damask]

Hope somebody can offer some advice, have purchased the Windschott wind deflector version, it is a complete unit with leather/mesh hoods and straps at the bottom; the issue is I can't see where you attach the strap latches to ?! Have looked on you tube but couldn't glean any information.
Cheers

I bought one recently from a forum member too (thanks Ray!). - The 2 outer straps at each end are fairly simple, the hooks just go under the trim in the approximate marked spots. The 3rd one at the rear seems to be one of the unsolved mysteries of the universe! Firstly, you have to half open the roof so you can get your hand down the back behind the roll hoops, which is quite tight. This is while contorting yourself to face backwards and not kneel too hard on the seats in case you damage the seatbelt sensor/springs/heater element.. Then as far as I have so far been able to find, there is nowhere to hook the 3rd 'middle' straps to. The trim along the back has a wider edge to it and I can't find a way of getting the hooks to fit in. The good news is it does fine with only 2 at each end and is very secure. (Photo lifted from another thread about roof removal, but has a clear view of the attaching points.) To be fair, I haven't spent too much time on it due to poor weather, so if you find out, let me know!

The jokes about the s&m wind deflector will come...eventually. So I may as well jump right in with this. Hope it helps...

As a Technical Author, I'm trying to come up with the best fitting instructions.
Somehow 'Stretch the leather tightly over your hoop' doesn't seem to be quite right. :roll:

With a little bit of lubrication if required would just finish that off.........

I think it’s fair to say that the OP has been categorically and undeniably mullered by the raging torrent of sarcasm with which, let’s face it, a handle like ‘damask’ was somewhat inevitable really.
:lol:

What a truly intimidating, sarcastic bunch of old gits we are!

Wow ! didn't realise there had been so many replies on this. sarcastic or otherwise; must confess, never thought of my nick and this problem being connected but funny all the same. Weather hasn't been great so haven't fitted it as yet but purchased some double sided velcro so will dabble with that.
Preoccupied with a light coming on the screen but will post separately, thanks for the replies
