This cost me about 950$$$ at the dealer -.-

I may just do it again and put Loctite red on the threads and call it good. I can just always carry a spare set of hold downs with me just in case. But Id rather buy the thick oem bolts or maybe buy some allthread and heat it with a torch and bend it to make a j like bolt.
Just a suggestion:
You should be able to bend all-thread with a clamp or channel locks. That material is not all that hard to bend by hand.

no, it's not the windshield. It's from the cowl intake.
Mines doing this, put a garden hose into the cowl vent to test!
