[TR] Stupid, stupid

I did this repair on one of mine.  My screw in "nut" was countersunk, so I just sight drilled a bevel with a bigger drill bit...very carefully.  The chrome screw "nut" blends in exactly as Randall says.  Do be careful of the glass, but I didn't have a problem.

Only noticeable if you look for it, and not objectionable then, IMO.  I haven't tried it yet, but >I am planning to use one of them to 'repair' a stripped hole in my original windshield frame.
