You have to do a partial pattern viewed and projected from top, and another viewed and projected from side.
In the attached file, the pink area will get the top projected pattern, yellow area will get left projected pattern, and green area will complete the half windscreen pattern subpart (or, since here the pattern is simple, put directly the pattern and its x-mirror in the patterned part). The only tricky part is to have both patterns meet properly (here it should be easy).
