You don't unsnap the windshield at the ball-and-socket connection points to the plexiglass! I doubt that you would ever be able to snap them all back together (at least not without great difficulty).
You unscrew and remove the large knobs on the handlebar clamps and just loosen the small knobs/levers on the fork tube clamp. Then remove the entire shield with all four arms still attached to the shield. The upper arms should be removed along with lower part of the telescopic base (don't loosen the telescopic adjustment nuts) and the lower arms simply pull out from the fork tube clamps. Only the clamps around the handle bars and the clamps around the fork tubes are left on the bike, which look relatively "clean".
The following thread shows what you leave on the bike after removing the shield:

I wouldn't really call it a true "quick release" system, but once you have done it a few times it becomes faster and easier. You will still have to do some minor adjustment every time you reinstall it.
