  >Hi there,
  Just letting you know that my march 5 1960 300f has the screws at 
  the ends of the top stainless trim surround of the front and rear 
  windscreens. Also my '55 New yorker convertable also has screws at 
  each end of the top trim front screen. The hokes look punched and 
  drilled and look very original. Thought you all might like to know,
  Thanks

  March of '57 does indeed have a screw affixed at either end of its 
  upper windshield modling. The molding itself appears to have been 
  stamped to mate with the pan head type screws that are currently 
  there.

  molding. Recently (at the Lawton Meet) it was pointed out to me 
  that the upper windshield stainless molding on my C was perhaps 
  incorrectly mounted since the ends were affixed wirh screws. Was 
  this a modification made by a previous owner during restoration 
  without the proper clips? Could this been from the factory since my 
  C was a late August '57 car and there was a shortage of clips and 
  this was the factory remedy to just get the car shipped to the 
  dealer? Or could this have been out of necessity after one flying 
  off at any speed? An interesting validation car was the '57 DeSoto 
  Adventurer hardtop seen this summer at '57 Heaven in Branson, MO. 
  It had an identicle screw arrangement at the corners of the upper 
  windshield molding that I have! See you in Springfield! ROB KERN
