Grateful for this thread... actively considering this purchase for my 1000... On the Amazon reviews, a guy noted soaking the rubber seal for the lower half of the windshield to allow better flexibility to seat it properly (not sure if this is the same seal in question).

UPDATE: Noted that if I would have read the WHOLE thread... this was covered
sorry!
I also want to be able to trailer the windshield closed and not worry about it flying off or getting damaged... I don't normally trailer ANYTHING at 75-80 mph as that is out of my comfort zone!
