I am glad to hear that you and your windshield are getting along better and it has stopped beating you up. Considering the price and the overall quality I don't know how SATV didn't get a better fit at the hood, it could be that the smaller radius corners needed to get a tighter seal could lead to stress cracks in those corners, I had to do some drilling and sanding to get it to fit my Z6 and it is easy to work with so I might go to work on that bottom edge with a sander to get it more verticle for a better fit...like you said only because it looks bad. It does keep the cabin warm, I would actually like to have it lock open another 2 or 3 inches further than it does in that first position to allow more air to flow through it, I wonder how hot a full fixed windshield would be in anything but cold weather even if it had vents.
