Default what's the trick ??

i got a new detachable windshield and I got most of it together but what's the trick in getting the windshield to attach to the pegs??? Those tiny ***** don't want to snap into where they are supposed to!! I don't want to break the damn thing!
any suggestions?

#1-Don't break it!
#2-Don't know what you mean by, 'tiny *****'.
Mine has 4 'hooks' 2 on each side, that slip into corresponding rubber grommets or washer type deals Have someone else look at it. Sometimes 2 heads are better than one. Especially when one of'em is mine. :-)

can't really tell without looking at it but if there's ***** and sockets sometimes they pop together alot easier if you put a little grease or even vasoline on them. This will stop you from breaking the socket if it is plastic.
