BRUCE and CRZN427,

Thanks for the help. After talking to the manufacturer, turns out that there is supposed to be a gap. I would have never thought that this was the case, because if it's true, I don't understand what the dimples are for.

Bruce, I haven't set the angle yet, but it will not decrease the gap, only make it bigger. I'm thinking that I will lean it back as far as possible to minimize wind resistance.

However, some of the comments from CRZN427 make sense to me, especially the part about the windshield shifting at speed, and the need for room to allow for this.

My original concerns were not nearly as complicated as some of the points you have made (although they should have been) but simply that it wasn't consistent with my preconcieved notion that the dimples allowed the glass to sit lower.

CRZN427, how do you like your FFR versus LAE?
