The Wing???

Loks like it is fiberglass wrapped in CF then resin was put over....

There are two screws on the top that hold it,well actually I used Allen bolts,think they are 2" long...may be 1.5" long

You have to drill through the top of hatch....then drill the underside I use a pyramid bit to make a nice 3/4" hole to be able to easily reach the back side and put a bolt on...when you drill the top,you drill all the way through to the under side....slowly....think bit was 1/4".

On the back of the wing there are also two holes...they can be done last....

On the under side that goes on the glass of the window it has 3M tape...

so once you have measured 4-5 times and are sure you got it right...drill top holes.

mine is off 1/8th inch to the right...figured noone but me will notice...lol

I got lucky finding the wing....was on ebay one night and the guy was clearing them out of his shop for like $80.....they normally cost a bit more if you can find them....
Quality wise....it is not a bad piece...better than I expected and it actually fits right first try....
