Hood Handle
What is the miniature handle for on the hood? I read it might be used for securing the windshield when folded down. Is that true? How do you secure the windshield? Any other reasons for it?

9. Lower the windshield gently until it contacts the
rubber hood bumpers.
10. Secure the windshield by passing a cinch strap
through the footman hoop on the center of the hood and
on the center of the windshield frame. Tighten the strap
to secure the windshield in place.

Hood Handle
Thanks for the replies. I always figured the windshield footmans loop would be used to mount a top. Glad to see it's not just there to hold down the windshield to the hood.

I guess I won't be able to secure my windscreen then when I have to cut out the piece of hood that has the handle & fit a scoop when I install my Avenger supercharger.
