here is the one in my 65, no holes... it just has tabs that slip up into the back window panel.

I don't remember my original one being fastened....but it was pretty brittle. I'll look back and see if I have any old pics of it. The factory assembly manual may show.

look close to the last pic I posted, you can see how the tabs slip between the rear window panel, and the back of the cab
