It turns out that mine does not have the idler pulley, just a straight belt
to the crank pulley. Scott had it right, loosen three bolt/nuts and use an
adjustment screw. Neat.
Thanks to all that responded, even Jim's humor gave me delight.

We had the windshield replaced in the 300SDL this July by Binswanger

Windshield - $98.52

It didn't leak in any of the recent downpours, and looks clean and clear.

it wasn't worth claiming against my insurance.
