Ok, so I just got a Fabbri med, clear windscreen for my MP3 250
In taking the stock one off I see the one grommet is just gone?
and the new screen came with zero.

You have to re-use the ones from the stock unit. No big deal really but it does take time and you could mess things up if your not carefull.

So, where in the heck does one find more of those grommets to purchase?

Thanks
Alan

Athens Scooter is a good source for parts if you don't want to go through your local dealer. Local dealer usually less expensive as Athens Scooter charges list price plus shipping.

Funny
They don't list number #6 the rubber grommet?
that's what I really need. Wonder why?

Thanks though.

Congrats on your purchase. I installed the same windshield two weeks ago and encountered the same grommet question. The supplier (pj parts) told me they were available from the Vespa/Piaggio dealer. Getting a second set will save you plenty of time from having to remove the old ones, then reinstalling them on the new shield. If you're in a hurry, carefully remove the old ones after removing the metal sleeve, then use lots of silicone to ease in the grommets to the new shield. You'll be happy with the result - I love my new Fabbri.

soap with water worked great for me, and it comes off really easy!

That's funny.
I used a little spit and a small flat blade screwdriver. Worked great.

I'll be getting some grommets from somebody just to save the time.

Suggestion... You should also buy the metal inserts. I bought some as spares in case I lost one when swapping between my stock and mid-size givi. I got both the grommets and the metal inserts from the Athens Scooter Co. There is a trick though - two sizes. The longer ones are the two on the bottom. At least that is the way the 250 works...
