One that will not scratch. The Polaris ones will scratch to the point you can not see anything out of them after a few months. Get something made out of Marguard or SpeedGlass. We have used that on our rock crawlers for years without seeing a scratch on them. I just put a full one on mine and I did have to custom cut it due to having a custom cage with my LED bar and over the hood bars, it worked great yesterday and still looks brand new after wiping it off 5 or 6 times. Not a single scratch on it!
Can you pm me any details on where to buy what you are using? I need to do one for my cage too, and its shorter than factory, or I would be all over a glass one with a frame. Anyone do custom frames with glass?
You may also want to check Ebay, I have seen Koplin flip out front windows for $250, nearly $100 less then the Koplin web site, very similar to the EMP.
The cooter brown windshield compared to the polaris is like comparing a Geo to a bmw. I know about 30 ppl that own polaris windshields and they are garbage. If u want the best windshield money can buy u buy glass. If u want the second best buy the emp or another high grade scratch resistant piece of lexan.
This! There are a ton of options for scratch resistant polycarbonate out there. A lot of your local plastics dealers would have them. If I had a stock cage and wanted something that would open in the middle I would probably just buy a good one like the cooter brown windshield. In know a few who have them and they have faired pretty damn well. Polaris would be the absolute last thing I would spend my money on. I've been there and done it...
Ryfab doesn't work for me.. You either have a full windshield (Dust Sucker) or no windshield. (bug eater)... If they made it kick out from the bottom then yes it might work..
I have the Polaris kick out windshield, I am happy so far, and we play pretty hard in the brush. A friend has the Ryfab, if I was on a do over, I would take a hard look at the Ryfab window, real glass, solid frame, lays down like an old jeep window. I like it.
If I were you I would take the light bar off, put a windshield on and drill a few holes where the light bar mounts then put the light bar back on. That helped my windshield to stay in place down towards the bottom. It wouldn't be as easy to take off but I could probably take mine off in less that 3 or 4 mind if that long.
