Re: window wiskers
We use small filister head sheet metal screws tightened so the heads are embedded in the strip. I have yet to scratch the glass.

Re: window wiskers
All I can say is, if you use the screws, be SURE the heads are embedded well below the surface of the whiskers. Don't ask me how I know this.

I use the glue and it works well.

I just did my 46 merc and used 3M black weatherstrip cement,i used small plastic clamps to hold in place until dry,very strong bond,the hardest part was removing the factory staples

Re: window wiskers
Macs used to sell black screws. On tri 5 Chevys I use #4 Phillips head screws. They are small and embed deep into the feather strip. Not scratched a glass yet with these.
