Attempted to lower the new rear glass screen this afternoon I could not get the screen to lie flat behind the seats, even when unzipped. The hood doesn't go fully down as it did before with the plastic screen. The frame of the hood presses on the screen, which doesn't seem right.
Pictures attached. Any thoughts?

Re: Replacing plastic rear screen
All sorted. Went back to the fitters this morning, who contacted BAS. It seems quite a bit of force is needed on the screen to get it to drop into place.
