Solar orbits ago, I had the same problem. My fix--not necessarily the best,
mind you--was purchase of one of the tenax fasteners that has a female post and
a countersunk chrome screw to tie it down. I drilled through the windshield
frame, careful not to touch the glass, then insereted the tenax peg from the
outside and screwed it in place from the inside. It's not something I notice,
but then I'm not particularly a purist. Available from the Big Three, as I
recall.
Yah, what I discovered anyway down the road is, when it's raining outside, it's
raining inside anyway!
