I used 3M Weatherstrip adhesive in areas I could not get a small screw into. I have 5 seasons on the weatherstrip and it has never come loose. I have 5 small screws in the area above the center line.

In certain areas around the window the metal is 2 ply or reinforced on ths inside. I was able to drill and tap for a 6 or 8 size screw (like a chassi screw from a video cam or player). They are short enough to not poke through yet hold and more importantly hide.


Give me ambiguity
or give me something else
