Windshield Install

Post by "PFix" »

Installing a new windshield and have a few questions.
1. I assume the round gasket material at the bottom of the windshield lays in the groove between the bottom edge of black dash and the fairing, is that correct?
2. Is there supposed to be a washer between the fastening rivet(under the head) and the windshield?
(as shown in max bmw fiche file)
3. How difficult is it to use the rivets without the “special tool”?
4. Opinions on pitching the plastic rivets and using the bolts and nuts instead, as promoted by max bmw’s fiche file?

Appreciate any guidance,

Patrick

I have been using stainless truss socket head bolts for years.  I put an o-ring or a small rubber washer under the head to cushion the windshield and a nylon lock nut on the inside of the fairing.
Good luck.
