I had  something similiar, I replaced all the rubber wellnuts that the bolts fasten into and it disappeared, you can get wellnuts of ebay for a few quid.

Yes, wellnuts are used for the screen , they are also used on the petrol tank where the cowling bolts onto the tank.

The ones I got off ebay were M5 x 12mm long, they weren't as tight a fit in the holes as the originals but worked.
The original ones were totally focced, all were split badly and two broke into two pieces when I removed them.
