Right side fairing pushpins in fairing won't line up - any ideas?

[Jbandauskas]

I changed the oil and filter and now can’t get the two chrome security pins on the fairing to line up. I tried adjusting the bent one but it didn’t help? Any ideas?

You say you tried adjusting the "bent" pin. What did you do in "adjusting" it? You can flex the upper side panel to get the "bent" pin into its grommet and then push the straight pin into its grommet. If you put a spritz of Windex on each grommet it makes inserting the push pins easier to slip into the grommets. When the Windex dries the grommets hold the pins tightly. If you moved the "bent" pin and you trust yourself, remove the left upper side panel and verify the orientation position of the right panel using the left panel as a guide.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I was putting the straight one in first!

Sometimes, just a little pressure in between the two pins when you have the bent one in will make the other line up better! The Windex trick works well also!!
