I have a set on my black mustang, and they mount like the picture below. The little feet on the plates slide under the back glass window mounting
There are a few different louvers sets out there. There's the Ford oem louvers and a few aluminum aftermarket sets sold in the 90s. Latest versions are plastic
Thanks for the info, how do the hinges attach to the car? It looks like the side pieces slide behind the window molding. I don't have the side filler pieces, are the necessary or just looks better.I have a set on my black mustang, and they mount like the picture below.

These are aluminum, not sure if factory or not. Where the factory units aluminum.
You need the side pieces, keeps the air flow from lifting them up. I also would caution you though, don't let it get towed backwards, it will tear the louvers off.
Unsure of the actual material. It's some sort of metal. Not sure AL or stamped steel
My '83 GT had either factory or dealership installed rear louvers. They were metal with either thin gauge steel or aluminum mounting brackets/hinges. The top edge brackets were hinged so you could loosen the lower nuts to raise the louver for cleaning the rear window. The brackets fit underneath the molding and were double-stick taped to the glass. I decided not to re-install after the paint job and recently got rid of the louvers and hardware (sorry). Here is a picture but you cannot see the hardware much, only the cap nuts. By the way, another way to ding up your louvers is to back into the half open garage door (see photo).
