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!
