Default I'm lazy - quick question about screens....
How are the stock screens held in on the nose? Press in? One of mind is dented, and its cold and dark outside....

they are held in place by screws. If you can find the directions to the vararam install. there they have instructions for the screen removal. I dont have it handy.

So take a fish hook, needle-nose pliars or whatever and carefully pull it back out. I took a rock hit and that's what I did. Can't tell it was hit now

Ha! You must have been in town then! Every time I get out on 40 or 540 I get a new reward for my efforts. I wish the damn rocks would hit my screens
