Use some masking tape to cover both sides of your windshield post where you will be mounting your windwings. Get a Sharpie or something good to mark your holes, install the hindges on your windwings and hold them up to the chrome windshield brace. Make sure the back edge of your windwings are parrallel with your windshield on the back side (allow about 1/8" space between your chrome post and the back of the windwing) and at the same time make sure you have about 1/4" space at the bottom of your windwing so it is parrallel with the top of your door. While you are holding your windwing have someone move it left to right and visa versa. If it clears your doors while opening and is flush with your windshield when closed and your gaps remain constant then that is where you want to drill your holes in your windshield post. Mark your holes that need to be drilled and be sure you do not drill too close to your wind shield. Use a center punch once your holes are marked and drill a undersize hole first.

Get a good sharp (NEW) drill bit because the chrome windshield post is all brass and it will ruin a drill bit pretty quick. I will try and post a picture tonight. Good luck.
