I used a Harwood bolt on back in 2001 on my Monte & had to trim the back edge to be able to the wipers. Other than that it fit perfectly. Didn't care much for having to use a prop rod.Don't want to hijack a thread (does look like the OP got his), but .... What brand is yours? I've read where people with some brand(s) had to trim the edge at the windshield end, supposedly they were designed that way.
