Anybody had windshield grommet damage?
Please tell me I'm not the only one...nothing found in searching this forum. A few hasty installs of my FLHR windshield has damaged the plastic/rubber grommets that the upper mounts connect to. I can't seem to find a new part number or any replacement advice? Thanks in advance...

Yah it happens and they are available at any Harley dealer. Try squeezing the windshield slightly when installing it. This causes it to bow a little so the mounting brackets tilt inward and line up better with the slots in the grommets. Once I figured this out I haven't ruined anymore. Like xxxflhrci said, just rotate them 180 degrees so the damaged part is facing away and you can get more use out of them. I always keep a few extras in the parts cabnet just in case.
