Great video fellas hopefully you made the right choice . Can't wait to see this thing out on the trails .
Looking forward to the next video
Thanks Peter! Should be out on the trails real soon.
Same windshield I have. I do leave it on when T tow. The vents make a good place to hold when installing or removing. Make sure it is as high as possible. So far I love mine and even in the deep south it doesn't get too hot. Looks great !!
Thanks for the info!
I have an OEM glass windshield and love it, ended up putting in rear OEM window due to dust swirling around after windshield install. So far no scratching or chipping. Undecided at this point if I'll be putting in a wiper kit.
Nice! Thanks for the info. Time will tell if this windshield will last but right now I am okay with it so far. Thanks for watching!
I bought the same one when I purchased my Ranger, after 1 week I told the dealer he was getting it back. At full speed the thing would deflect into the cab about 4" there is NO WAY I would ever trailer it with this windshield in. I returned it and the rear poly shield for glass. A little more money but 10X better. I have since bought the 1/2 windshield for the summer which addresses the heat issue but leave the rear shield in to stop the dust. The vents let some air in but not enough to make it comfortable with 1/2 doors. If you stay under 50 mph you"ll be fine, over that you'll feel like it's going to blow into the cab.
That's what I was worried about. I thought it would be thicker and not as flimsy. I am having second thoughts now. Thanks for the info.
Mine does the same above 40mph. And the bottom latch’s don’t hold very well
@@UTVDIRT Just purchased this windshield on my 2020 Polaris Ranger 1000. Installing it this weekend. Was wondering if you can give us an update on your thoughts of the pros and cons? FYI, I am only using mine at a hunting cabin and would never be going top speed. Only time it would be going that fast is on a trailer when taking it for service. Thanks!
I have a 2019 Ranger1000XP Northstar it came with glass I love it. The a/c is really nice.
Do you having any rock chipping issues?
UTV DIRT no issues
Thanks for the info.
I have the Polaris Glass windshield. Had zero issues with rocks, tree branches, etc. It cracked when I was trailering and caught a bird at 70 or so mph. I have now contemplating replacing the glass or doing hard coat poly.
That's what I was worried about and went with poly. I might just keep it and see what happens. I know at least it wont crack or break and just need to see how it does when it's being trailered.
I also have the Polaris half windshield, but don’t use it. The wind catches me right at my glasses so it makes it rather uncomfortable at speed.
Thanks for the info! I definitely don't want that to happen.
I have a 900 and went with the hard coat poly windshield. No issues whatsoever. My only advice to you is to ceramic coat it! I think it made a huge difference in mine, I don’t have one scratch in it!
Good luck!
Thanks for the info! Did you ceramic coat inside and outside of the windshield?
Also is your windshield flimsy like this one?
I did do the inside and outside, look into Adams polishes and yes mine is just as flimsy as yours looked. It’s poly.....just nature of the beast.
Okay thanks. I was wondering if the vents made it more flimsy. Do you have any issues with trailing your unit on the highway?
@@UTVDIRT none yet! I do not have the vents, just solid poly.
I leave mine on I run 80 miles an hour down the highway no problems for the past two years
Nice! Thanks for your feedback!
I have that same windshield. It's ok to leave on while trailering. You are going to want the back panel as the dust is terrible without it, you will look like a sugar cookie.
LMAO thanks for the info.
I trailer 200 miles weekly on the interstate. Crack the vents for air flow and no issues. Went with this model after an OEM half windshield did not with stand trailering.
Thanks for the info. I am worried about it flying off when trailering.
No issues for me at all. My back panel is glass and so far so good with it as well. I’ve even trailered 1000+ miles one trip.
Thanks! I am going with OEM glass on the back also.
It’s like Christmas up north year around did you hit the lottery and not tell us I’m glad you finally got you a windshield great video
Lol! I wish I hit the lottery I would probably have 3 more side by sides if I did.
@@UTVDIRT haha!
Hey Mike, I’m a new subscriber and really appreciate your videos. I just bought full doors and heater for my ‘18 XP 1000. Now, I realize that the Velcro that attaches my existing windshield will get in the way of my new doors. So, I’m shopping for a new windshield. A couple questions for you:
1. Are the vents in your poly windshield useful?
2. Would you spend the extra $200 for glass (no vents)? Also, glass will require an expensive wiper system (can’t drill a hole for a manual wiper). $$$
Many thanks for your opinions.
Hi John, glad you like the videos. The vents are nice in the summer time to let air flow in and are useful. I bought the poly because I sometimes trail ride and didn't want to break the glass. If I was just using for working around the property I would of went glass. Hope this helps! Thanks for subscribing!
We like our Polaris Ranger open so we got a half windshield for summer so we can see but need a full windshield for winter. I'm still trying to decide. I'm leaning to the Polycarbonate right now.
I would go glass if I had to do it all over again. Don't have to worry about scratches and much easier to take care of.
Glass is the only way to go!
Yeah I almost went with the glass but had some concerns with cracking. Well see if it holds up. Thanks for watching!
@UTV DIRT I really like dat windshield, it looks good on Zeus, to bad the other people had bad luck with them. I love my glass on my North Star , never had any problems so far and the AC , Heat, and Defrost is very nice to have. Down South Louisiana it gets really hot 🥵, and it blows ice cold ❄️ air. Wish you luck getting what you want, the glass is very strong to. Thanks for another awesome video, please keep um coming Mr Mike!!
Thanks Joey! Yeah not sure what I am going to do. Might send it back for a glass windshield or I might put it on the trailer and see if flexes inside the cab and go from there.
UTV DIRT your very welcome, and yea that’s what I would do. Maybe it won’t flex to bad, especially if your not driving fast in your truck. But just so you know, I flexed my Ranger pretty hard on a levey in our crawfish pond, it didn’t hurt or crack anything. Your windshield looks very good tho, I really hope it works out for ya, maybe later try ah glass one for the winter 🥶 time up there!. There’s also a heater kit for your Ranger, would make ah very good video if you already don’t have one 😬🔥
Thanks for the info. I will do some tests and go from there. Heater video in the winter is a possibility. Lol
UTV DIRT lol your very welcome , and I totally understand the testing part! Gotta see what works for you, I know how expensive the goodies are lol . Good luck , and thanks again for the awesome videos, can’t wait for more 😬
Great video guys!! Just picked up my 2022 Ranger 1000 today. anybody have any issues with theres going into gear? Seems a bit stiff as of now, guess because its brand new. Dealer reassured me that its how all Polaris are until they get worn in.
I just bought another new Ranger it's the 570 sp one and mine goes into gear easy. It might need adjusted and if doesn't get better I would call the dealer back.
Was there much of a difference in price between the glass and the poly?
Love the install process btw, simple and quick!!
The glass is more expensive. Depends on where you buy it. I think Polaris website lists it at 729.00. Rocky mountain is cheaper.
Just out of curiosity, do you know how much money you into it for . Because here in Sydney Australia we pay double for bloody everything
That's a good question. I would have to sit down and figure it all out. I will probably do a video on total build cost.
I have the tilt out glass OEM and was concerned about trailering so I had a windshield cover made.
How did you make it. Is inside the cab?
UTV DIRT used Marine grade vinyl and 2inch foam...I can txt u a pic if you like
I have same windshield, trailing must be done facing forward. If you intend to tow sideways then shield must be removed.
Thanks for the info. I tow facing forward so that will work out for me.
I get a whistling sound around 26 mph… air leaking through somewhere ??
Yeah that's what it sounds like or your roof is letting air in.
I'm watching because my right bottom clip won't stay clipped.
Have you had any issues with this windshield?
If I had to do it all over again I would of went with the glass windshield. Check out my other video on my regrets video. I go into to detail why. Thanks for watching!
How can you be street legal without a wiper /washer?
It's street legal per Ohio laws. It was inspected and passed.
Hello, how many miles do you have on this windshield now and are you having any problems with the seals coming off? Thanks
I have had it about 2 months and probably have 150 miles on it. No issues at all so far.
Where did you order the windshield from?
I ordered it off of Amazon. I have a link in the description of this video.
Only use a car wash liquid on this never windex nothing with detergent
Okay thanks! Do you have a glass or poly windshield?
Polaris poly fold down
That's was my other choice but was worried about the light bar hitting. Does it scratch easy?
I use a soft sponge or terry cloth to wash with hasn’t scratched yet
Windex will haze it over time
