Default Windscreen, wind deflector, wind blocker, etc

Hi all! Newbie here. I have an '09 S2K and would like to replace the plastic glass for the windscreen. I've looked all over the forum for the right key word for the wind blocker, but didn't find exactly what I'm looking for. I want to replace just the plastic with a taller plastic. I'm a DIY'er and want to tackle this myself instead of buying an aftermarket deflector. So....here's the question....
How do you undo, unbolt, or otherwise remove the plastic from the housing? I don't want to break the plastic housing that is holding the plexi in, but there's no other screws/bolts that I can find! Nor do I want to use (God forbid) a metal screw driver to pry open the housing seam. Right now I've got it split a tiny bit with a couple of iphone tools that are strictly plastic (and really soft plastic, at that).

So....talk me through this. Without breaking it. What do I do?!??!?!

Thanks so much!

Think there are screws that hold it on from the bottom under the top center compartment but I could be wrong. There are companies that sell taller aftermarket ones btw

I would get the 7/8ths size. Looks much better than the biggest one.

Also, DO NOT forget to flip it up whenever opening or closing the top.
