Though it was a long time ago I believe I used sheet metal screws like those used for grounding to the frame or generally holding lighter loads to the body. With two screws for each latch I never had a problem with the window's force pulling the screws from their holes. That said, I do need to shim in the latches a bit to pull a bit harder on the windows, as they're not suite seating against the seal as well as I'd like them to.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430238746529_810244" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430238746529_810300" dir="ltr">Took the car on the highway for the first time this past weekend and it handles and runs very well. I hope to have the front-end aligned in the next few days and then I'll fine tune the steering wheel mounting (it's a different wheel that I bought back when I received the insurance settlement from the accident, so the alignment marks from the stock steering wheel didn't translate over). <br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430238746529_810312" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430238746529_810313" dir="ltr">- Doug :-)<br></div></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
