Broken outer fairing bolt hole
Guys,
I was reinstalling the batwing fairing and noticed that the lower right screw was spinning. When I looked at the outerfairing, I noticed that the hole was broken.
I tried using Gorilla glue but that didn't work.
The plastic which holds the bolt that the screw goes into is broken. What's the best way to repair it? I don't want to ride with 1 screw missing from my fairing. Below are pics showing what I'm talking about.
Thank you!

When mine split a couple of years ago, it was out of warranty so I had to come up with a fix on my own. I filled the cracked hole with JB Weld and let it set till the next day. Then I used a drill bit that was just a little bit smaller than the screw itself to drill through the JB Weld. I then put it back together and it has been fine since then.
