I just purchased the nostalgic windshield for my 09 deluxe.Can someone post a pic of the way the docking hardware goes i followed the instructions and this thing just won't line up nor go into the docking hardware I have no idea what to do I put one side in and the other pops out.any help would be appreciated i am starting to lose my mind with this thing.
If yours is anything like my 08 stock detachable, I had left all my bolts slightly loose when replacing the shield (reusing the hardware). The plastic part wants to fight the hardware and if you snug it to the shield ahead of time, the hardware will match the shield (rather than the bike mounts).
Also noticed that the rubber grommets are all torn up from forcing it on.this is suppose to be easy on and off mine is far from that what the hell.any suggestions would be really helpfull this freakin shield was allot of money.

Don't overtighten the bolts that hold the rubber grommets, then fiddle with the other bolts til it slides in easy. Careful, the shield scratches easy.
It should pop on/off easily and I wouldn't stop til you get it to do so.
You won't regret the extra effort. I pop mine off for baths, or just to wash the windshield real good (without wetting the bike).
It is off very often and I love having the quick release! If it were hard to removem you blow the hole concept.
Be patient, you'll get it right. (make darn sure your pieces are in the order that the instructions called for).

I use silicon spray. I just put a paper towel under each docking port and give real small spray.
You'll be amazed at how easily your shield will pop on and off after that.
