I'm more likely to grind notches in the side edges. I believe the glass has been ground edges where the glass was ground after the windshield glass laminated. I have watched the guy in the glass shop at work (years ago) make replacement window glass for flat side windows. He was using a belt sander with liquid coolant running. Like I said I missed the scene where they made another windshield after the tempered glass exploded, I'm intending a shallower notch than they were making in the program for a 1924 Morgan. I do not know enough. I did see another seen where they were breaking the flat windshields when trying to cut notches in the lower corners and ended using a grinding tool with lubricant. They were trying to make 3/4" by 3/4" notches for something. Again, more drastic than what I propose. I asked whoever responded at Shell Valley web site, and they said the windshield side frames only offered about 3/32 thickness for threads. That at best is three threads for 10-32 screw. I'm hopping for more.
