[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1153986, member: 6354"] +1 on the W not being structural. The plastic screws hold the shield on, and this sounds like they were overtightened. They need almost no torque at all when they're snug, and overtightening stresses, i.e. stretches and weakens, the head of the bolt. Also +1 on staying with the plastic screws. if you go through the screen for any reason, you WANT it to pop off. You do NOT want it to break from your impact and disembowel you. And there's nothing in there that needs to be Loc-tited. This could also be an instance of turbulence banging the shield. An air blast behind the shield would throw it forward and I could see it snapping, especially if the bolts weren't up to the job from previous damage. [/QUOTE]
