Windshield Nut Loose.

the inner fairing will crack at times for sure if you dont insert with the slot down. i use jb weld stick i had one crack and you just knead it together and place around the crack. I also put around the other 2 to give them more support the plastic is thin where the inserts go this will build the area up and no worries about cracking again. J-B Stik will fully cure 20-30 minutes; and can be drilled, sanded, filed, tapped, machined, and painted. J-B Stik requires no tools or "prep time", and makes no mess. This stuff is good bought at walmart

I have all three of mine come out. I have used epoxy and JB weld, they still came back out. worse yet when inserting the new ferrels it cracked the plastic that they screw into. said the only way to fix it is to get a new inner fairing at $500-600 plus labor. Well, not going to do that. I engineered a fix that is much stronger now and it should hold forever.

Roadglide Fairing Well Nuts#5207
Do you have the part number by chance?
The well nuts are #5207 but I'm not sure what you got is the same part.
I would welcome a new solution to the problem...I'm in Canada and some company wanted $36.00 to ship 10 screws..talk about screwing!!!!
thanks

Sounds like you stripped the brass fitting that the screw goes in. Not a big deal, HD sells a repair kit, you can remove the stripped one and replace it. If you take it to HD, they will charge you an hour labor. I would go to youtube and see how to do it yourself. From what I have heard, its not that hard.

like some of the other posters, I just cleaned the treads, 2 part epoxy, and waa la its fixed, I also recommend some blue lock-tite on the screws, so you can put them snug and they wont come out while driving [not sure how I know this? ]
