Default 28 window props?

On the 1928 Phaeton, there are no windshield prop outs, or at least, I don't see where there were any. How do you hold the windshield open? No funny stuff folks.......

It was held open by friction between the cups/cones and the wing nuts.

I can't seem to get a good grip on those. I suppose it's irrelevant anyway, being an open car as there is plenty of air rushing in without the windshield tilted open. No biggie. I looked at a few other open cars and didn't see the supports that the closed cars have, so I assume its a closed car thing to have those supports.
