Any time you are assembling a thing with fine threaded screws, DO NOT fail to chase the threads
clean with the correct tap. The grief you save will be huge! I just had a wind screen frame that had
one broken off screw, but a nice glass(blame the PO). 3 hours to successfully drill and re tap without
cracking the glass with either the drill or the tap .

Yup, a tap, (and die) are absolute musts on these cars !
 
Trying it out now. Not going so well. You all got yours in…. I’ll keep trying. Maybe with thinner material? I’ve tried cloth tape. Worked. About a week later it cracked. Wanted to try the rubber material from Moss as you see here with this spare glass. Good times.
