It is hard to think ahead for everything. I made sure I had blocking above my windows to mount the eyebrows. However, I only left 1-1/2" framing on the sides, meaning that I had no blocking for the lower screws on the eyebrow, which extended a bit wider. So my only option was to mount that a bit higher.

I notice that on almost every pic of a vintage camper the eyebrows are mounted as low as possible above the windows. So, now I'm thinking of just not using eyebrows on the side windows. The saving grace of this is that if I ever have to remove the window, I won't have to remove the eyebrow. And then I'm thinking why they need to be mounted so low?
The original Friendship that I'm modeling did not have eyebrows on any windows. How important are they? Gotta say I'm not that impressed with the flimsiness of the metal.
