Coming home over the Pennines on the A66 on Wednesday evening in the tail-end of Hurricane Ophelia, my driver-side screen was being continually buffeted and wind-pressure pushed the top corner increasingly further away from the wind-screen itself.

I'm fairly sure that the vertical front support bar that goes onto the outside lock-nut has bent slightly outwards, and would like to ease it back to a tighter fit, but this looks a fairly delicate operation. Has anyone any experience or suggestions before I get too carried away?

There was an upside to wind & water on the road - I trod lightly on the loud-pedal and averaged 33 mpg at 58 mph over 400 miles, and that in an oldish Plus-8! Noisy, but fun
