Troubleshooting
Windshield feels loose on the microphone.
Ensure the internal rubber gasket is properly seated and not obstructed. Re-attach the windshield, making sure it's fully extended over the microphone capsule.
Wind noise is still present in recordings.
Verify that the windshield is fully covering the microphone capsule and is securely fastened. Check if wind speeds exceed the 15 km/hr limit for which the windshield is rated.

Apply gentle, even pressure. Avoid yanking or forcing. If it feels stuck, ensure no debris is caught in the gasket or on the microphone capsule.
