    New OEM taillight cover issue

    Hi all-

    Long story short, I finally got my 81 GS1000 running! Yea! BUT, during a recent, non-running move, the rear taillight cover was broken off. Ordered a new, OEM, cover, and received it the other day. Went to install it today, with the OEM screws, and it won't attach. The screws seem too big for the plastic holes in the cover. Looking closer at the holes, there are no threads. The screws appear to have a chiseled tip. Am I suppose to force the screws in and cut threads in the process?

    It took two weeks to get the cover and I don't really want to break the new one and have to order again.

    Thanks for any help!
