Madstad windscreen install issue

[Slowpoke387]

When replacing the brackets (2016 F3L) for this windscreen there are 4 bolts that you need to remove that hold the factory ones. Absolute stupid design, they are all secured by plastic which strips right out because of the thread lock they use at the factory. Anyone else had this issue? of course 3 came out but theres always one...
Looks like the entire dash panel would actually need to be replaced to fix this. ridiculous design. :banghead:

BRP AND THEIR USE OF THREAD LOCKER

:agree::agree::agree: ..........There have been many many posts on this topic recently concerning the newer Spyders .... it seems BRP has decided to go into the SELF-DESTRUCT MODE .... for this machine ......... The engineers have AGAIN fixed something that was NOT BROKEN ( ie the DESS module ). I have Spyders dating back to 08 and never had any issues with the Thread locker .... now everybody is pulling the Ferrules out ......WTF :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: ..... Mike :thumbup:

Just a really stupid design. I saw another post where the person left one bolt out so I drilled the head off and installed it with three for now. Actually super sturdy. I'll have to actually order a whole new dash piece which I'm sure is big bucks. Would it have killed them to just use lock washers????? Thread locker being supported by plastic is a no-go. Whoever did ours basically superglued it in.
