RT Owners - How To Get The Rubber Gasket Nimples Through the Windscreen Holes

Post by Jeff in W.C. »

RT owners. How do you get those rubber nimples - for lack of a better word - through the holes on the windscreen. Perhaps, I'm trying to do things in the incorrect order. The screen is already attached to the via the center clamping plate installed. Any hints and suggestions with regards to the proper sequence of tasks would be helpful.

Thanks,

Use some WD40 on them then slowly/gently pull them thru with needle nose pliers.

Vaseline petroleum jelly... that's the original Vaseline not the other products under the brand name that have come out over the last few years...
