TR2/3/3A Retro fitting Sun Visors on TR3A?

I would like to fit a pair of sun visors to my 1958 Triumph TR3A, preferably without drilling the windscreen frame. I was look at Rimmer Bros product RW 3236 which is a plexiglass smoked sun visor but there is no explanation on how they are fitted. There are also similar items on eBay.
Does anyone have any insights on how I can safely fit sun visors or experience with the Rimmer product they can share please? Thank you.
 
I use the smoke colored plexiglass visors in my TR3. Pics attached. They use the same attachment as is used on the side wind deflectors.

My 59 TR3A came with one smoke plexi visor on the driver side. I ordered a matching on for the passenger side. They mount with allen-head set screws that clamp on the window frame. Easy install.

Many Thanks Helmet. I have successfully installed the sun visor. The issue was that Rimmer/Moss don't show how the visor is attached, and the same with their eBay adverts. I spoke to a classic car engineer and he was suggesting drilling the windscreen frame which I was never going to do. The grub-screw fixing is perfect for the job. I just wish the parts vendors would add that touch of detail rather than have customers have to guess.
Anyway, many thanks for sharing your insight.
