The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Windshield Frame Press-In Nut

We had the same problem recently on my grandson's 1930 Tudor. One of the press in nuts was missing on the windshield stanchion. We went to a local Model A store and bought the needed item. However, no way did it fit. What we did was enlarge the hole and file a "D" in it so that the nut slipped in. Then we liberally applied JB weld to the nut and the hole and let it sit over night and it worked fine.
