Ian, I know several of us have purchased the same one on eBay. I commute daily and it works great to reduce the wind but nothing for rain....... I've had it for about 1.5 years and it's still clean. I live in Hawaii so I get rained on at least once a week and have to deal with the salt air. The windshield is still crystal clear and I wash it about every 3 to 4 weeks and just wipe it down at the end of a rainy ride home - in other words I don't take care it. It comes with these hand tightening bolts to make it easy to remove - I replaced with Stainless hex bolts from the hardware store. Just seems safer to me.
