Is the play on the mechanism itself, or because all of you reporting that issue, have aftermarket screens, which are thinner than stock? Or maybe both? With aftermarket screens, you definitely need to shim appropriate brackets to remove extra play. Glad I read this to check all fasteners when installing the CooperDawg sport screen. Thx.

There are two mounting bolts to the rear of the windshield housing/dash that mount to the frame, in front of the stem bearing and  just below the triple tree. You will have to remove a brake line bracket to tighten the nuts. Mine lost both nuts and the bolts were in the process of backing out of the mounting bracket. It can only be reached from under the dash. Once tightened your windshield play will be gone.

I checked mine and they're tight.  My small amount of play is in the track.
