With the slot having inward facing lips, so that the anchors, having a pair of protruding tabs, are pressured onto the underside of the lips when a metal screw holding a plastic washer and a metal cover snap retainer, is inserted into the anchors so to clamp the anchors and cover snap retainers together on the slot lips, where the cover snap retainers are oriented in a forward and outward direction along the slot, and making no metal contact with the windshield frame. An alternate method included is a flexible anchor for attachment under a windshield lip of a hidden windshield lower frame.
