Ha, ha... Normally I remove the weatherstrip and mouldings, take the car to the auto glass shop, have them remove and replace the windshield.

I came by a regular 86 Corvette that got bar-b-q'd. Went to his house and removed all the mouldings.

The top molding appears to not have the hidden screws.
On the side moldings there are 4 screws for the top powder coated molding not necessarily the same location on each molding. The inner piece (after cutting the double back tape) has 3 screws not necessarily the same location on each molding from car to car. The Top piece has one set of screws and they are located the same on each top piece from car to car?

All C4 windshield mouldings, I believe, are the same. However, factory assembly sequence seemed to have been glue trim moulding to the A pillars (and header), take a drill and drill thru the trim mouldings, followed by screw. Due to this sequence, screw holes typically don't match from car to another car. Another good reason to be extra patient and save the original mouldings.
As for the top piece, whether it can be transferred from another car without re-drilling screw holes, I am not sure. You are correct, there are no hidden screws.
Over the years (93, 2012, 2014 and 2015) I messed with 4 ZR-1 (91, 94, 90 and finally a 95) window mouldings. Seems to be getting better at it...
When I am over this rush at work, I will take time and, perhaps, start a new post with pics and more detailed information.
Happy new Year to you all also!
