Hi, Bill.... I have seen 2 types of 'windblockers' - one that fits into those 
slots and one that straps to the headrest posts. I would think that former 
would be the better of the two, as the latter may rattle a little bit and would 
be literally inches behind your head.... The 'normal' use for those slots is 
for the old-style packaway hood and for the tonneau bars that support the front 
of the 'short' tonneau and make the 'full' tonneau 'bow' up a bit so watter 
rolls off of it.....

In my MGB (1976), just adjacent to the rear edge of the front door, there 
is a snap button for the top. Directly behind it, just adjacent to the 
front edge of the rear quarter panel is a rectangular socket, perhaps a 
part called the top frame and tonneau bow socket (??-). Has anyone used 
this socket as the insert point for the supports of a wind screen?
