New Switchback -- windshield question
Dealer just delivered my new switchback and went over all the details of the functioning of the bike with me in my garage including demonstrating the removable windshield. After he left I got to wondering what the heck holds the thing on, so I grasped it at the top of the shield and pulled forward. It came off with no effort whatsoever! I reattached it several times and there is no way I can make it any more secure. What keeps it from comming off when riding? When parked what keeps it from blowing off in a stiff wind? Those springy dodads are completely innefective as restraining devices. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the welcome. The springy do dads on my shield do appear to fully engage but when I pull forward on the top of the shield they just cam over the rubber mount and release the shield. I could be wrong but this just seems too flimsy to be correct.
