Side screen fixings

When fitting the screen it is advisable to have the side screens (if you are going to fit them). This means you can check to rake of the windscreen matches with the side screens.

The side screens come without the hinges fitted. There are pre-drilled holes in the window frame but they are hidden under the covering material which is quite thick and I really struggled to find them. After making the end of my fingers sore trying to locate the holes, I found the ends of the hinge pins were the right tool: 

I used a sharp drill to cut through the material to get a clean hole and fitted the hinges. Note the location of the hinges relative to the top/bottom of the window, this will help anyone locate the hole in future:
