Default HELP!! T Bag windshield bag "VIBRATES"

I've had the new T-Bag windshield bag on my SG for about a week now. I didn't notice anything for a day or two, but it's started to vibrate (apparently against the windshield)at about 1800-2000 rpm.
It seems to be a little less prominent when I have it raised where the bags are slightly above the fairing "dashboard" instead of resting on it. I've tried raising it, lowering it, tightening it, and loosening it and I can't get it to stop !
I have an aftermarket 10" windshield installed on my bike. Anybody else experiencing this and/or have a fix?
Thanks for your help!

Mine was doing the same thing. I put a strip of the soft side of velcro on the back of the bags & that helped stop the noise but I have a dark smoked short windshield so you don't see it from the front of the bike.

Mine does the same thing. When I down shift to 2nd you can count on it vibrating.

Thanks, zoom-zoom, my windshield is smoked (not real dark), too. I may try that. Appreciate it. It drives me nuts!
