When faced with this problem, I used a nut insert - installs like a pop rivet.

I know some people don't like this approach because there is some risk I
suppose of the expansion of the insert hitting the glass, but it worked well
for me.

I am in the middle of a small-mouth restoration and recently had the
stanchions and windscreen frame re-chromed. B Went to install the nine small
tenax fasteners and realized that a previous owner had drilled out two of
the holes. B My fault entirely - I should of course have checked before
paying B all that money for the chroming. B I guess I could go for a larger
tenax and then match the soft-top - otherwise I am at a loss to think what
to do. B Any suggestions out there?
