Something that has had me worried when it comes to fitting a roof - drilling and fitting poppers to the thin windscreen surround.
The ally channel on the screen is 16mm x 16mm and the glass sits quite well into it, so the solution I adopted was to get some stainless 3.5mm screws,
grind the tip off...

Then screwed into a carefully-drilled 3mm hole, the screw tip finishes in the rubber seating....
Description
Then, repeat with the actual screen itself - pretty successfully!

Nice job mate 
Very useful thread, could save a lot of cracked windscreens. Don't work for Autoscreens do you 
Just realised what I said then. if you did work for them then the last thing you want to do is avoid cracked screens! lol!

The story continues...
I am now working on getting the Weather - Gear I have bought from GBS (for a zero) to fit accurately - I've found it to be about an inch too big
where it drapes over the rear bodywork, so I am fitting a slight modification to the poles to take up the excess. This will also be a double - whammy
- it'll adjust for slackness in the roof when hot weather hits!
Framework before modifying...

Watch this space, because that's as far as I've got up to now.......
Nice one Steve. I'm hoping that will be my summer job

You got any dimension of the width of the windscreen of the "Body Bars"- would this fit an MK?
I made my own screen so
