Default Fairing bolts "spinning"

Anyone ever have this problem? The screws that hold the fairing on up by the indicators are spinning in place because the screw holes have broken.

You can see the right one is still intact but the left one broke off. Does anyone have a trick to fix these? Or can you buy new ones? I tried using epoxy but it didn't hold

They are called Wellnuts, I would just go buy I couple, they are fairly cheap.

They look like this uncompressed.

It looked to me like the well nut was part of a whole piece that pops into the fairing and that on mine the well nut had broken free and was now spinning when you turn the screw. Are they supposed to be seperate from the o-ring and everything else?

The picture above is the whole piece.
you stick it in the fairing hole and tighten it and it compresses like an o-ring around the fairing.

From the dealer. Hardware stores won't carry them.
