Default location of rubber window rests on Deluxe Roadster top

Greetings. I am looking for a diagram or pics of the location of the rubber window frame rests for the Deluxe roadster when top is folded down. I want to get as close to proper location as possible - before I drill holes! Thinking a dab from glue gun and double sided tape to stick on window frame and fold down, but want a starting point if someone can help. thanks in advance, Greg.

Here are two pics from my 31 roadster with original panel above deck lid. I would still use your fold down and check method first because whoever put in the window in the top could have been off a bit.

Check underneath and see if someone filled the holes. I thought all of the cars had them. Any chance yours is a reproduction body?

@31steve, thank you, that will give me an idea where to start, but yes will go ahead with my layout plan. Yes Charlie, I have a Brookville body. I started with a rolling chassis from a hotrod builder.
