John,
I've had the same problem with my BT7 MKII. The cure was to install a
threaded rod as you suggest. It required a bracket installed to replace the
mirror (which is now attached tot eh rod) and a bracket attached to the
windscreen frame at the top. The rod used actually comes from a MKIV Sprite.
The MGB rods are too long. If you Like I can try to take photos.

On
my last drive, with the soft top up, without the side screens, the top
frame
was lifting up away from the glass. At one stage there was approx 1mm
of gap
between the top of screen and bottom of frame in the centre.
I had thought
of running a stainless steel threaded rod from the centre of
the top frame to
dashboard (as MGB??)
Any suggestions appreciated
