1987 GTA Aerowing hardware

Is there hardware available to install an after market fiberglass aerowing? I was thinking using heilcoils to hold piece of metal to hold that would slide into the mount that is around the windshield.

In the pockets where the mounts would go run a screw into the middle of that pocket and then slide the wing into the slots, if it look like it needs to be brought closer to the glass, carefully remove the wing and run the screws in a bit more. Did mine like this and it worked fantastically.

I used screws on my brother's GTA wing when I put a fiberglass one on it. It worked just fine. 3 years later, it's still perfect.
