Requesting help fitting hard top side brackets

 Hola amigos, Carlos here.  I have purchased some side brackets (or mounting plates) for attaching the hard top to my Mk 1 Roadster.  Here’s the question.  Should I drill through the hard plastic interior panels to fit these or should I cut the shape of the bracket out of the panel in order to bolt it to the car body? Is there a rubber part I should get to go between the bracket and the body?

 You need to remove the trim panels & the area you need to cut out is marked out on the back of the panel.

 This may help [Y]

 Thanks Dave, I have noticed a shape about 2" x 1" rectangular in shape with rounded corners is this the one I need to cut out?
