It's the best option, especially for summer riding. We love ours, our friend with a "vented" poly just rode with us this weekend and is ordering one for his machine after seeing how much better it is for the cab heat.

 

Thanks for the input. Do you experience issues when riding at speed with it wanting to fully open or close when open to the staged open (looks to be about 4-6 inches)? Nice looking car BTW. I'm definitely going to need a winch. The thing looks bada$$, especially next to your friends car. ...oh yeah, it's functional too.

 

The vent position works great until about 70mph, then the wind will actually overcome the hinges and close the windshield. It surprised us when it happened, just leave it vented when staying at trail speeds now and close for high speed runs. When full open it will flutter a bit with the slop in the strut mounts if you get over about 40mph, as such we only do full open at slower speeds or for a short time at speed to cool off.

These are just adjustments we made to using it, but can say with certainty that I wouldnt want a fixed windshield even with the small learning curve of how and when to vent/full open.

The dual handles to open and close took some getting used to as our Ranger has one handle. But again, we've learned to operate it successfully.

 

mine cracked around the hing bolt holes like they overtightened it i never even rode it yet
took it to shop and they will warranty it when they get one
i bought a super atv fold down so i dont get screwed with the shortages
i did brace the polaris tip up and the low setting it slams shut at 48 mph
all the way open it starts shuttering at 45 so you cant go fast like the fold down super atv one
i use a glass polaris one in winter with polaris wiper and love it for winter

Thanks for the information! Everything you described is what I had previously read about. @Arcticzale had a different experience, more like what I'm already accustomed to with my 900 Polaris OEM tip out. SuperATV sells a tip out too, but it appears to require an always open or always closed position which won't work for me. I'm also not 100% on the style of the theirs. I'm in Arizona so the windshield is primarily for a little face protection versus being shielded from the winter cold so the windshield is popped out to 4-6" most of the time.

 

We've had really good luck with the SuperATV flip-up while riding if your looking for another option. Unless it's 80 or above we have to leave it closed - too cold for the wife and I have to just run the fan.

Thanks. Any chance you have a picture from the front with the windshield closed?

 

Will the Polaris wiper work with the vented windshield?

 

the super atv one has a part open position that the latches hold open , super atv says to not use a wiper with it , but in the rain you cant see anything (ask me how i know )had a glass fixed one on it , was super hot , the tip open one helps with the heat .

 

We have a SATV tip out windshield.. Love it but my line of sight sucks. I look out directly at the bottom of the windshield.
