Is there a secret to getting the windshield down easy? After I set it to highest setting it's a challenge to get it lowered?

Usually it just takes some serious upward torque and then drop down all the way to bottom setrting. Then you slowly bring it back up to where you want it.. I was playing around with one in the showroom floor last week waiting for them to ring up my new joe rocket jacket

The way the ratchet mechanism works, it does not release to go all the way down until you raise up past the highest position.GOLDWING AND F6B MAINTENANCE VIDEOS

If you raise it all the way up it will then drop down to what ever level you want. With the bagger windshield, mine is a litte sticky moving it up and down. Although I use it on the lowest, and will replace the original when I take a long trip.
