Just finished a 5200 mile trip around the Great Lakes and thru the Midwest to PA wearing my C3. I also had upper forehead discomfort and looking inside the helmet noticed that it was right where the flap for the top vent (the one you use to block the vent in really cold weather) was folded under. I had no pain with that fabric in the winter position, so used a spoon to compress the foam there just enough to make room for the extra fold of liner fabric. Much better now.
I have some visor issues which Schuberth and RevZilla are addressing - so far I'm very happy with their support.
My one nagging complaint about the helmet is that the visor will not stay up and it has no city position (partly open). Coming thru the hot and muggy Midwest I would raise the visor at every small town, but it would abruptly slam shut at 30mph. In that heat, having a visor stay open till 50 would have been a blessing, or having a 1cm gap would have been nice as well. The slamming door effect got old quickly, and I found myself holding the visor open with my left hand. I could lift the chin guard, but with my big chin pulling it down again is a two handed process as the wind curtain has to be held or the guard won't latch.
Did I mention it was the most comfortable helmet I've ever worn..?
Here's Schuberths official response.

Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately the base plate mechanisms cannot be tightened.
This is actually a feature that was built into the design on the helmet.
The Faceshield is designed to close at speeds of around 30-45 MPH (depending on bike, riding position etc.)
