Overhead console question

I just purchased a beautiful overhead console this weekend and am going to install it in the CS this week. I received a front bracket with it, but nothing for the back.
My question is, How does the back of the console secure to the roof. I was told there is a rear bracket needed for fastbacks, but not coupes. Is this true? Please advise.

quicknick,
You only need screws for the back, I attached a picture of how it is done. There is no bracket for the rear.

Do you have a picture of the overhead console? I would just love to see one in great condition.

Thanks for the pic Doug. This helps out a lot. I don't have any pix of my console as our digital camera has been borrowed out, but looks just like the green one Doug posted and in the same condition. It has already been updated with new switches and lens kits. It has no cracks and only one little scratch in the aluminium towards the back. You will never see it when it is installed up in the ceiling.
Nothing to do but throw it in! Thanks again. Nick
