I was getting ready to remove the outer fairing to relocate the XM antenna when I see this.

I haven't removed the screan and will call, in the am, to the dealer to see about coverage.
I saw this as I was going to remove the outer fairing to re locate the XM antenna.
This bike has been great as far as drive train goes.
The 12 CVO Street Glide was weekly visits for warranty right to the buy back date. This is the first bike of any brand that has had 3 front and 2 rear tires counting OE at 5600 miles.  Rear do to a nail and the front just won't hold air.
I have a windspliter from the 12 that spent 2 yrs on a 13 limited and was thinking of adapting to the 15, but after seeing these cracks I may just see about the right windspliter for this bike and try to sell the one I have. As it may not fit right.

Just took a closer look at the right side and it has a crack also.

I don't see any evidence of impact damage, which you should point out to the dealership.  If you have never had the windshield off, and there is no evidence of impact, odds are the screws were over-tightened when the dealership installed it during prep, or there is a flaw in the design or manufacture of the windshield.  Either way, they should take care of it.

I'm with Jerry.  Looks like over tightening to me too.  Looks like it's centered around the fastener.

Got back from the dealer a little while ago, darn if they didn't feel the same about it being warranty, they didn't have a OE style so they put on a windsplitter, wouldn't let me pay the difference.
Also told them that the front tire was again down to 20.5 lbs, so they ordered a new rim and will call me when it comes in

Right on. Good to hear that you were taken care of.
