Okay, dealer finally got the rosettes.
They fitted so tight, so, though I didn't buy the windscreen they are still in my car

So this is how I guessed to fit it:


Elastics attached to the special "panel" behind the rear seats: I "opened" seats, checked the upper part of "hole" behind them by hand and found it.
Front mounts went good into rosettes holes (but they don't hold there at all, but it looks okay).

The question is how to fit the rear mounts??
Here it is:



Should I press it hard into the seat as JohanvdWalt wrote? While seats are in place?

Because it stands wrong now, it's rear should be lower.



Here it is from another angle


Thanks

also is it possible to close and open the roof without removing it?
And is it okay that I can open and close the screen by hands while fitted?

I can raise and lower my top with the deflector in place and either up or down. Yes you can drop it by hand when it is in place.

Okay, thanks!

So should I just push rear mounts into the seat?

Those two long pins in the back is suppose to be pushed in behind the seatback, not sitting on top of it.

OMG they're no such holes for those pins, everything looks tight there.. Should I have no fear to push it there?
I should lift the seats when pins are in or push the pins while seats are up? Guess the 2nd one..

Correct there is no holes, they just fit tight between the seatback and the body.
Sorry sold my 944 years ago, I can't remember whether I use to put the seats down before pushing the pins in or not. I think not.

Wow, it really works! Put it behind the fitted seats with enough force



They stay on the seat's locks


Overall, it's the must have thing!

Guessed the roof cover should fits this way (otherwise wind comes under the screen and it doesn't work):


Thanks to all for the support.

P.S. Windscreen and rosettes cost 205 dollars only. Though the screen has 3 little scratches and no bag was included, it's a nice price.

That's it, now it looks neat and work the way its suppose to.
One of the best upgrades you can do to any convertible.

I'm sad to say that the Boxster's deflectors is not nearly as efficient.

Enjoy your 944, I'm missing mine.

One of the best 4-seated convertibles imo!
Thanks a lot.
