Question Replacing Windshield question

I picked up a new 4.5" Wind Splitter windshield for my 09 Street Glide this past weekend. Anything I should be aware of when I go to replace it? I haven't picked-up a service manual yet so from the looks of it, it's just three bolts that keep it in place? Thanks!

Its just the three bolts that you see across the bottom of it. It's pretty straight forward.

Don't lose the rubber insulation strip either, sometimes they fall off or down into the fairing.
