Default I can't get the OEM windscreen off.

My new WS comes in on Tuesday and I figure that i'd go ahead and see how hard the oem screen is to remove. Well all of the little torx bolts came right out except one of the lowest ones. Apparently the nut/grommet is just spinning with the bolt and I can't reach behind to use my finger. It won't tighten down any more or it wont loosen anymore.

You might try loosening the torx screw while "prying up" on the screw from the underside to put tension on the well nut beneath. This has worked for me on occasion, but be careful not to damage the windscreen. A "forked tool" you can make with a die grinder or by grinding flat/thin an an old small open end wrench may help prevent "sideways creep" as you turn the torx.

Hope this helps.

It ended up finally coming out. Pressing down while I turned finally did the trick. I had no Idea the weather would be so warm today or else I would not have taken the WS off :\
