You should have a hole in the window, where the chrome stud fits in with a rubber washer. The hinge fits to that with a posi screw.
Selection of BMW hardtops available, please ask!

there no captive nuts there to fix the hinge to,just a big square hole.
its a 85 chromie,maybe a bit early for pop-outs
