Didn't you put 1/2" plywood over the cabinet tops, if so it should of
spanned the Dishwasher space. Allowing you to screw into that.That's how
I've always seen cabinets done, When they did my kitchen the wanted a
plywood substraight. I'm sure if the granite installer drills wholes in the
granite you will lose any warranty, ask the contractor if he will cover it.
