Re: guys with soft tops
Yes, I use to do that too. To prevent water from getting into your windshield frame I would fill the holes with RTV
 I also filled the holes on the bed rail.

Re: guys with soft tops
I pulled the screws & snaps from the header (I have a fastrac so it has a strip) and put RTV over them. I left the other snaps in the side of the windshield frame. On the tailgate, I pulled the strip and left the holes open. I figured the holes on the tailgate trim don't have any thing sealing them so the holes from the strip should be fine.
I have heard a few guys have put the top on without removing the snaps on the header. I've never tried it so I don't know how well it works.
