Box section at rear of right front fender, in which the right dogleg of the windshield frame resides:

Same view, masking tape applied to protect paint:

View from above showing the outside part of the windshield frame that should be protected with tape:

The 4" C-clamp is now applied and gently tightened until the holes line up (inside the footwell). Problem is, you can't see whether the holes line up; it's done by feel. [If you have the dash out, or have a mirror and a light, you might be able to see...]

This is a view of the lower of the two bolts, once inserted.
NOTE: this view is in the left-side footwell; the other photos are of the right side:

And the windshield is in place!
