Ok now to add the little bits to the windshield frame. Start with a thin sheet of styrene. Drill a tiny hole with the drill bit

4 of them are put on the windshield. I had to chop off the lower section before lining them all up with equal spacing and then gluing them on

This will now sit and I will look at it tomorrow to see if there are any glaring errors. Then I will work the parts to make sure they are all even. Some of the dics are slightly higher then others
