Freedom W/shield 2010-23 RT Install Issues - anyone else? Am I missing something?

I got a Freedom Windshield for X-mas, but since we were moving soon after to another state, we just got to it installing it today.

To our surprise, the mounting holes/opening are way too small. They are only 8mm, but the stock windshield's holes are 11.5mm.


I was frustrated pushing the grommet in, not realizing the opening was way too small. After all, who would think the holes would be smaller?
There were no installation instructions, no invoice included, nor another grommets for the smaller openings.
The removal and installation would be an easy except we can't install the Freedom Windshield.

Did anybody have the same experience? Am I missing something?
