Ran into a similar issue/decision when I was setting up the front side panels and ended up making a reversible jig I could set into the side cover panel to allow the front portion that attaches to the grill to stay in place. Then I used 10/32 Rivnuts with washers on the backside of the glass on the body side so I could remove the side panel and leave just the rivnut showing with a machine screw in it painted burnt copper. Once all the primer and paint was applied the gap was less than 1mm. What to do on the front end where the headlight attaches was the hardest decision from the practical and aesthetic side of the car. Here's a couple pics of that area, maybe give you some ideas.
