Word of caution... If the screws you use are even a wee bit too long, what could occur is that the screw will touch and then push into the windshield glass.

What happens then is that the windsheild will either crack right then and there, or, will crack some time thereafter (like on a real hot day when the glass expands or vibration sets the glass against the screw).

You want the length of the screw to be just long enough to give you good bite and purchase in the frame but not too long to be near the glass. You have to be carefull when drilling too I would imagine.
