Default UC Windshield coming loose
Any one have any repairs? The brass nut that the screw goes in has broken loose from the inner fairing. I thought about just drilling all the way thru and putting some sort of fastener that is a sleeve with a flat head on it and uses a screw at the other end. But have had no luck finding what I want. I know someone makes them because I have seen them. My paintgun uses them to hold the trigger, and have seen them on other things. Anyone know what their actual name is? Or some other way to repair it?TIA

gently remove the brass insert.
mix up some jb weld or similar.
re-install the insert and let setup.
Should fix it fine.
