    I need sunroof deflector help. '73 E

    I recently purchased a 1973 E coupe. The sunroof deflector was missing some pieces, but I found someone who is shipping me what I'm missing. See photo.
    So, here is my question: of the three deflector pieces, the sides seem fairly straight forward to install...but what about the middle piece? Does it connect to the side pieces, or does it go up and flat independently?
    Can you help? If someone has detailed photos of a deflector like mine....but complete...that would help.
    Thanks

    Please! I know a lot of you have this sunroof, and I could use some detailed photos...would someone mind snapping a couple? :-)

    The center piece just hooks onto each outside piece. It does not have any other parts or hinges.

    Regards

    So the outside pice, and the center piece both slide into the hinge half way, and share the hinge?
