Not Ranked
My car is together for now. I was reinstalling the wind wings and never being satisfied, started checking the other 10-32 screws holding the windshield and frame to the uprights. I found first screw was loose in one turn. Not confident. The top right screw just spins. Then the lower right I wasn't happy and tried a lounger screw and it touched the windshield and cracked the glass edge.
Just how deep are the 10-32 threads in the windshield frame? I'd hope that if you were to use the full good threads in the windshield frame it would be enough. I'm sure that not using the full threads caused the threads to fail to the point where I'm now. I'm retried now and spend too much time watching TV at homes now. We have gone to streaming and I stumbled onto a series Called "Fantom Werks" on MAX. the episodes are several years old now. In one episode they were to install a convertible top on a 1924 Morgan. They used" lift dot" fasteners on the f of the windshield frame. The windshield was a flat pies. They went to grind small notches for the "lift dot" post to screw into. Turns out because it was flat piece glass , it turned out to be tempered glass and shattered wright off the bat. They were surprised that it was not laminated safety glass. I missed the part but ended with another windshield glass mounted with the convertible top Is that even an option? I'm talking about grindin notches in laminated windshield no lift dot fasteners.
