Default Windjammer fitting advice please

I recently purchased this item;
https://www.cabriosupply.com/chevrol...ctor-2005-2014

Unfortunately as simple as it looks, the 'fitting manual' gives me absolutely no help at all attached.

I have assembled it as per the manual, but can't find anywhere at all in the car to attach the bottom bracket holes to, the best I can manage is wedge it under the seatbelt outlet either side, which can't be right.

I look forward to hearing how this is done. It looks like a good solution if you can get it installed.

I think, short of any 'proper' instruction I am going to bolt through the seat belt cover at start of the outward curve and mount it there, wedged in that position the wind reduction is significant (and this will make it a little higher) but even better the roof mechanism still works and misses it all by a couple of inches.

Please post your results. If this works without drilling and you feel that the wind reduction is worth the cost and effort, I'll try one too.
