how are non bolt on hoods held in place?

i know the front parts of non bolt on hoods are held on to the car with the pins.... but what about the back buy the windshield ?

i cant forsee the hood just sitting there with out something holding it down..... i know how bolt on hood use the old car hinges but what about the non bolt on hoods.... how do they mount to the car at the winshield and not move al around on you....

lol sorry for not knowing this.... but i am going to be buying a pin on 4 inch harwood coul induction hood through summet and i was just wondering what keeps the back part of it at the windshield held in place if it doesnt use hinges...
