Default Bimini hook eyes

quick question.......I have to finish up my top/enclosure installation and need to install two clip hook eyes on the top of the windshield frame for the straps that come off the front of the bimini.....is there enough meat on the frame to through bolt these things without hitting the glass inside the frame? or should I maybe use short screws and screw them into the top of the frame..... always prefer to through bolt when I can especially on something like this which I am sure will take a beating.

hopefully you guys can figure out what I am talking about...

Mine appear to be just screwed in for the bimini which came with the boat from the factory.

I was able to thur bolt on the side windshields with no problems. if you drill slow and stay above the snap line you should be fine.
