Default Fulton Wind Deflectors

I have a set of reproduction clamp-on type Fulton Wind Deflector brackets that I would like to use on my Victoria because they do not require drilling holes in the doors.

Are there any issues using these on a slant windshield car?
Is there a pattern for the glass?

Will appreciate photos of these wind deflectors on slant windshield cars.

One mounts them to the window head and sill and then measure for the glass, approx 8"' wide + ht. to suit by using cardboard pattern. Front of glass aligns with front A pillar slope.
Problem is that brackets can leave indentations in the paint even with rubber gaskets.
The brackets must be kept tight or the glass will fall out.

Bob
My Victoria has had clamp on wind wings since new, I believe. I like them because I can easily take them off if necessary.
You will probably need to cut the glass at an angle.

Thanks for all you do for the Victoria Association.

I have a feeling that the slant windows used a different version to what is available as a repro. The ones sold by A&L are excellent, I have a set on my coupe, but they can only used on coupes tudors etc.
