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

I could never get them to seat right. After 80+ years the hole was worn. I couldn't figure out a way to tighten the hole so the press-in nut would hold tight. That thing is fighting lateral forces.

If I had to do it over again, I could go around the hole with a punch to tighten it in before pressing in the nut.

Good luck,

Ken
