I've got an 09 Ultra that I got a new windshield for. Went to install it tonight and removed the two outer screws first, then the middle. When I was removing the middle screw I noticed it was turning harder than the other two. Well, it came out and when it did, it popped out to a 45 degree angle, head up. So I carefully removed it the rest of the way and noticed that the threaded hole on the inner fairing was about 1/3 hole below the hole on the outer fairing. Actually, the hole on the outer fairing actully is somewhat egg shaped (narrow part to the bottom). I can get the screw started by carefully prying up on the inner fairing (without the windshield on) but I hit resisance about 1-2 turns in, and with the brass theads, I certainly didn't want to force it.
Any suggestions? If I take it to the dealer are they going to try to blame me for it, even though there really is no way I could have done it? And last, can I ride it to the dealer (about 6 miles, speed limit 50) with only the two screws holding the windshield in?
