Default 1972 rear window problems

I bought a 1972 corvette which was missing the rear window. I thought I had all the parts to replace it. My question is this: how do the window locks at the top attach to the roof? There are no holes to attach with screws. I assume that I am missing some sort of brackets that attach the locks to the roof. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Not a very good diagram, but shows 2 pre-threaded holes for mounting the locks for your rear window.

I can take some photos of my 72's rear window set up and email them if you would like.
