Author Message   F_skinner Posted on Friday, April 17, 2009 - 07:11 pm:        Does anyone have a trick to remove the rubber grommets that the windshield plugs into without ruining them?   Choyashi Posted on Friday, April 17, 2009 - 10:33 pm:        No, but it's easier getting them out then in!   Ulyscol Posted on Friday, April 17, 2009 - 10:36 pm:        I warmed mine up with a blow dryer first. Was able to remove and did not destroy in the process.   Prowler Posted on Friday, April 17, 2009 - 10:57 pm:        I squirted some Armor-all on them and they slipped right out of there.....   Fubar Posted on Friday, April 17, 2009 - 11:23 pm:        WD40 and needle-nose   F_skinner Posted on Friday, April 17, 2009 - 11:34 pm:        Thanks, I will give it a try tomorrow. I have some new ones on the way just in case. Has anyone done the recall for the XT. I think I remember something about the bottom part of the large shield being bolting down. I am heading to the hardware store, after I remove and reinstall the grommets, to pickup some bolts to secure the bottom of the shield. Thanks again for the help; I never thought to lube them up.

Choyashi, yep, they were a pain to get back in.   Strada Posted on Saturday, April 18, 2009 - 03:14 pm:          Ulybrew Posted on Monday, April 20, 2009 - 12:28 pm:        Hey Uly Guys, I lost a screw early in my 11K miles. I finally got around to ordering a replacment and they have been replaced by a Factory Recall! Here in Chicago, the dealer is now aware of it and can get the new kit in a couple of days.   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 - 07:26 am:        Frank - if you want I can take some pics of my recall kits. I have all 4 corners of my shield attached with them. OVERKILL, but for a while I had an old FXD "supersport" shield attached to my tall Uly screen, and I wanted the security (it's a $5 kit). Now I have a Cee Bailey for winter, and a 4-bolt stock short screen for summer Basically, though - you get a washer for the outer edge of the windscreen; a screw; a spacer for the screw that sits in the pieces on the colored flyscreen (the inner 6-bolt piece); another washer for the inside; a nylock nut. I'll see if I can find the .pdf today at work, but I'm flying solo today and we've been busy as crap the last few days (first days in the 70s this season) so I might not even have time to scratch...but I'll try.
