Default 58 - Windshield posts anchor plate help

Never mind...I FINALLY got it screwed in.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to screw into the anchor plate that inside the windshield channel?
I'm having a heck of a time!

The plate seems to move around, twist, etc. I have tried some rope/strip calk to hold it into place but that doesn't seem to work either.

I believe the correct screws are about 1/4 long.

Try inserting an L shaped all in one hole, to put some tension on the plate, and install one screw once you get one started the next will go quickly. I've installed too many C1 windshields

Thanks for the suggestion, but I got it. AND that is pretty much what I did...I used a nail.
