My Montana came with a hinged windbreak, the top third can fold down and it has a storage net on one side.

I think this may be a standard fit part? But it is currently bolted onto my Style bars - chrome hoops, and I cannot see how it would bolt to the seatbelt towers - unless there are standard brackets which have been removed on mine when the style bars were added?

Anyone for a photo of how the windbreak attaches to the towers?

Thinking of removing and selling my style bars.

Do the style bars bolt onto the sides of the seat belt towers? If so it will fit on those holes assuming you still have the brackets on the windblocker.

Aha, I think I may be missing those brackets!

Anyone know what they are called, where I can get some?

I just went out and took some photos - can anyone identify my style bar? It looks like the MX5Parts M style one, but I can't see if theirs has MX5 engraved on it?









Cheers,
Steven

Yep, looks like the brackets are missing.
I'd post a picture of mine but I've butchered them to fit with my roll bars so that wouldn't help laugh

looks like the style bars are bolted to the mount for the wind breaker (with the press stud bolt), ive got one of them folding things too but never did fit it properly.

If you take the style bar off and take the wind breaker off then take off the plastic cover around the seat belt towers you will fit 2 nuts on each side welded too the seat belt towers, you will need to drill an extra hole through your plastic bits and also by the looks of it get hold of the correct brackets plus a couple of extra bolts. I'll take some pics of mine when i get chance.

But if you take it all apart you will see what I mean.

With that gap under the windblocker I doubt it's all that effective anyway. It really needs to be mounted so it is down to the parcel shelf.
