I know when Dad (DKnapp to you) and I put the rear window in the business coupe we had to do it in stages—different lengths of screws. We started with long screws to get it into position, then progressively shorter until it was in the final position. He may know what the final length was, but I do remember having at least 2 sizes to get the rear window placed and into final position.
