Hi everyone hope someone can help. I removed the OEM screen and noticed a bolt missing from the electric screen assembly that pushes the screen up and down. Pictures attached it seems to be missing one at the bottom that holds the bit that the screen bolts on to. The bolt looks like a rivet bolt.
One of the image shows the bolt the other the missing one at the bottom.
Thanks for your help.

Several other riders, myself included, have reported this problem.

Thanks can’t find these with the grooves for a clip. Any advice on exact size and where in Uk sells these. I see some people suggesting a 8x25 eBay has M8 which appears like 8x20? Thanks

They may be a BMW-only part.
From memory, I think I obtained a used one from Motorworks. Check part fitment carefully - I think the upper and lower pins are a slightly different length and diameter.
I also bought some 'beefier' E clips. The original BMW ones are a bit thin and flimsy.

It seems like there's always something with the rt!
I've just checked mine while washing it, after riding on some particularly bad roads last night but they're all intact.
