Default Road Glide Radio Gap

Was cleaning my 2019 Road Glide Special up the other day and noticed like a 3/16 gap towards the bottom of the radio.

Anyone encounter this dilemma, possible fixes?

Mine has about maybe a 1/16th gap, more of kind of a line around it, but towards the lower left corner it does widens to maybe 2/16th gap. I didn't know it was there till I read this and I went and looked... thanks... lol The head unit kind of drops in and then slides a hair towards the rider, from inside the fairing. There's 2 bolts on each side that holds it down to its mount. I do not remember really any adjustment, when its in place and sitting flush on its mount the bolt holes line up, and that puts the bezel flush with the opening. Next time I'm inside the fairing I'll loosen those 4 bolts and see if there's enough play to flush it completely up or not, or if when I tighten it back down it pulls it back to the same place. But thats the only thing I could think of you could try, if it bothers you or is noticeable to you. If you're comfortable pulling the outer fairing, the 4 bolts are easy to get to.

Cool, I don’t think I have ever seen 2/16th written before. It’s legit I’ve just always used 1/8”. Sorry just thinking out loud!

Nice Bike!
