If you pull at the top of the windshield it will pull off. The forces at play when riding press against the winshield, pushing it into the mounts.

Check your instructions and make sure you got the grometts, spacers, etc installed properly.

When the upper "hook" is seated properly on the rubber gromett the spring hook should be over the top of the stop. The windshield shouldn't just slide easily off the grometts. It should take some force at the top to disengage it. Same thing when you put it on.

As the previous poster said as long as it's on properly it would be impossible for it to come off.
