Dragonfly Fairing

I recently purchased a dragonfly fairing and had the local harley shop put it on. Seems when I lug it down, like when downshifting to 2nd, I get a rattle almost a chirp.

I have tightened everything I can, put windshield tape on, removed the windshield bags and still can hear it. I am wondering if this is just normal, and due to amount of the vibration from the bike, if its just something I have to live with.

Any thoughts?

O.k. we're in business. Now I myself have been looking into the Dragonfly's. My understanding is they attach to your stock windshield hardware hassle free. A rattle could be the wiring rubbing inside fairing (radio harness) assuming you got the complete package?
I know DF is the top aftermarket fairing so I would assume it to be quite & great quality for the price of them!! A rattle would drive me crazy? Next time you ride put your ear right up to fairing, see if you can pin point to outer trim area or like I suggested near the radio determine where noise is coming from? Go from there
