If you put a link to the kit in the post I don't have it. Somebody makes the fastener so they're out there somewhere. "Somewhere" can be really vast though!
I wish I did. I have a place that I have used for YEARS for all of my odd ball fasteners.... they specialize in hard-to-find automotive fasteners. They didn't have them. Also tried the paint shop I use and he didn't have them.
Fastenal is a good idea though. We have one here, albeit pretty limited stock in comparison to the stores in Salt Lake. They are closed until Monday though.
This is the kit I got though, if that helps. I would love to use a larger stud.... that is IF they can be found.
If you by chance have an old Ford air box laying around, they use at least 4 of those fasteners. They are fairly large from what I recall. I also use clips and fasteners dot com for Ford fasteners.
If the rubbing alcohol doesn't work, you could always get a bottle of Jack and forget it for that night. LOL Been there, Done that.
The new w/s cleaner on ebay seems to work wonders. It was great on her Fusion. Damn if I remember the silly name. I'll post it when I get home

For scratches there's a lot of products available. I used some NAPA stuff years ago that was like different grades of rubbing compound that was buffed in and it worked great. Took some time but it worked. Couldn't tell anything was ever wrong with the glass. That was in the 70's so there's probably better and faster products available today.
I'll try the alcohol... use a rag, newspaper, paper towel?
Also I've seen people talk about using 00 steel wool?? Wondering if that would help.
I don't think it's delaminating because I can see the wipers affecting the blurryness.
Looks like I need to find what the thread is I need, LOL. I know one side is 1/4-20, but the other I'm not sure.
6mm w/10mm nuts I imagine. If you have drill bit guide, that measures bits, use that to determine. Millimeters is probably more common, easier to find on line. It's just quicker/easier due to tolerance.
