no worries...... screen is awesome..... did a quick canyon run.... for some it might be a bit low the way it sits now.... that beating wind on the back of my neck and in the ear wind is so much more tolerable.... still ruffles the hair a bit but i like that.....

the screen is surprisingly stable.... ii worried with just the two attachment points that it would wobble or i would have to bump it up against the seat..... nope ... great just like it is.... and some day when i have a few extra bucks i will resolve that shipping issue we had...... very happy... thank you

Matt:
Your screen does look a little low; you might want to make you some short brackets (similar to those provided by Raceland for the Miata screen) and shown in my pictures sent to you. I have mine adjusted that looking in the rearview mirror I cannot see the screen top bar and the top goes up and down easily.
