Default How does one adjust a HD Wind Splitter Windshield?

Just purchased a HD 10" Wind Splitter Windshield. Reading through the included instruction sheet, it mentions in the "Care And Cleaning" section:

Sunlight reflections off of the inside curvature of a windscreen/windshield can, at certain times of the day, cause extreme heat build-up on motorcycle instruments. Exercise care in parking. Park facing the sun, place an opaque object over the instruments, or adjust the windscreen/windshield to avoid reflections.(Bolding added by me)

Does anyone know how to adjust this windshield? I thought there was only one adjustment, installed. Hmmmm, maybe they are just referring to turning the handlebars to change the positioning of the windshield?

I always wondered way the inner fairing on my 2004 and now my 2011 Ultra was extremely faded with the paint cracking and peeling off. It must be from parking in my driveway since my house does have a southern exposure. I never realized that the sun's reflection even with the stock windshield could do that much damage.
