Hello. I have a tall oem windscreen that the dealer put on so I don't know what size Allan key I need to do any adjustments. Thank you

5mm? 6mm? 4mm?

Go to your local hardware store or bicycle store and buy a good quality metric set. Buy quality tools that will last because they'll come in handy again one day.

It's a 3mm allen. Like fishFingers suggests, get a set of quality metric Allen keys, preferably ball-ended to one end.

Uhm...there are a few scratches on the plexiglass ...
The letters and numbers on the screw head indicate the material, i believe it is polished stainless steel.

Yes ... also because scooter manufacturers only use the metric system; remember not to tighten the screw too much on the plastic otherwise it could crack (the plastic, not the screw).

I'd be tempted to buy some novus or plexus cleaner. Depending on the depth, a lot of those scratches will polish out.

True.
When and if the pandemic ends I take my scooter and I come to visit you in Cyprus ... it's not far away (all by sea) more or less.
