Nice - how much does it weigh? Maybe a pic of it folded up would be good.

Looks like two Highlander windshields linked together.

I have a Tatonka version which looks very similar. A big improvement over foil windshields but I have found it tends to blow over. The little pins aren't enough to hold it in the ground. I will be interested how you get on

Someone on another thread had mentioned this some time ago but unfortunately I can't find it sorry, but the gist of it was he bored some small holes low down in the shield just big enought to push through 3 or 4 tent pegs around the length about 3" apart, the type of pegs with the 90 deg angle head. Pushed through from inside to outside which held the shield in place securely.

I attached a couple of keyring loops to the top of my windshield, and then used a length of paracord to join the two with enough slack to use a tent peg to hold it against the wind. Basically putting a guy line on a windshield.
