    Default Anyone else with 2023 F3 WindShield cracking?

    Good morning all

    Has anyone had a problem with the WindShield cracking on their 2023 F3-T? My Windshield is cracking right at the mounting bolts...

    Safe riding out there.

    I hope to never experience this, but the causes IMO are somewhat limited:

    Over torqueing mounting hardware
    Defective windshield material
    Excessive vibration of the Can-Am (vehicle issue or road conditions)

    Shouldn't there be a metal spacer in the center of the rubber grommet that prevents over torqueing?

    Agree unfortunately didn’t have on STL so also doubtful on others (unusual considering is another part they would charge outrageously for)
