Default Perfectly broken Rick's 7/8 Windscreen

Well it was a nice 14 months with the windscreen, but ...

I had been having trouble with a RATTLE in the area of the windscreen or maybe behind it in the roof well while the roof was up. In addition to wading through the rattle entries in S2KI, I temporarily folded down the windscreen to see if it was rattling against the roll hoops. Later that day I lowered the top. Goodbye 7/8 windscreen, hello shorter than stock windscreen. But the broken remnant has a perfectly-formed arc, just shorter than the stock version.

Don't need all that money anyway.

I used to have the full height screen and touched it with the top at least a dozen times. Luckily I always stopped the process in time. To this day, I still watch the top go down even though I have the stock plastic piece.

Hrmmmm....I thought that the 7/8ths screen would always clear the top up or down, and the full screen was the one you had to be careful of.....

I got the cheap $20 ebay version and have lowered my top on it a few times, luckily not doing any damage. Mine rattled too until I super glued a rubber washer on each side of roll hoops to prevent the screen from vibrating. No noise since.

I used the supplied bumpers. I have the full height screen and it doesn't rattle at all.
