I would replace the clip. They are sold as set. The windscreen does get inserted from the back of the car, the same direction it would probably blow out.

I haven't quite figured out the best way to install and remove the windscreen. The result was a broken clip.

To replace the clips, you need to remove the padding on the hoop behind the seat. I replaced one of mine about two weeks ago. There were three mounts on each roll bar pad on mine. I used a plastic putty knife to lever it out the top center a tad, then once the clip was in view, applied more force using a large pry bar. Once the center one was out it was easy to see the next two. The pry bar worked fine on removing it the rest of the way. I then drilled the rivets out, and installed the new clip. I then pressed the pad back into place - then smacked it in place with a rubber mallet after putting some towels on the pad.
