New CBR1000rr and cracked the Fairings

I got a 2007 CBR1000rr Red/Black last fall with zero miles on it, a sweet ride from the dealer to my garage for the winter. Last night I caught my cover on the windshield and cracked the top fairing, not all the way through but enough that I am worried about it. Is this common? Is it repairable? It looks bad and I am sure will get worse when I ride it, so I am looking to replace it.

My question is would the New England cold cause this to happen? I didnt bend it that far and it cracked like peanut brittle. I think its a flaw with Honda and not something I did. Cause if I hit a bump on that thing I am thinking that it would shatter all over the road. Not to mention the cheep screws that are in the windshild snapped too.

So... anyone know a good place to get a new fairing?

if you want an OEM fairing you're going to pay big for it. they are expensive.. you might luck up and find one around here or ebay, so you'll really have to keep your eyes open.. not sure if the cold had anything to do with the cracking, i'm sure it didn't help but, these pieces are fairly succeptable to cracking,
