Windex is your friend!

Oh ya, might not hurt to warm up the grommets with a hair dryer if the sled is in the cold.

Are the grommet on the plastic shaft on the piece you removed or are they still in in the hole on the sled? Cuz if they are on the piece you removed you need to take em off and place em back in the holes before you try to put it back in or you never gonna be able to reassemble it back.

Everytime I removed my headlight cover those damn grommets would pull out of the plastic, so the last time I had them out I trimmed a bit of the plastic dart off, plus greased them up abit so they slide in and out of the grommet holes a bit easier. Of course, since then I haven't tried to pull the cover off, so am not sure how well this trick will continue to work if the grease dries out a bit.

Yeah mine broke too. I had to put screws through the top to hold the arrow shaped tabs onto the top cover.

There are two barbs on the pin that the gromet locks to. They are 180* out from each other, so what I do is get a large flat screwdriver, squeeze the gromet opposite of the barbs with you fingers, then use the flat screwdriver to gently pry up on the gromet. This has worked everytime and no risk of damaging the helmet head thing. I think shaving down the barbs is on my list of stuff to do, it just seems I never do it when I have the cover off. Same thing happens by the way, drives me crazy.
