Had the last screw on the end of my windshield break off over the weekend. After I drill it out what can I fill it with to re-screw it in? Brand/Any suggestions?

BTW the next screw up broke as well, but Im not about to take out the window and all that crap. Figure Ill be fine doing the end screw.

Could you use 5 min. epoxy? Or you could use auto body filler to fill the hole then re-drill.

Yeah a bigger screw, Stainless of course :D

Seriously
If you can get under it and see the ends of the screws here's what I would do. You can fill the hole with Bondo Hair or??, redrill a pilot hole, Knowing that bondo or ?? isn't much of an anchor I would use a small piece of wood on the underside for the screw threads to bite into also. See what I'm trying to convey here?

Good Luck
