Hey everyone,

I’m in the market for a UTV windshield that can withstand extreme conditions, including high winds, dust, and off-road impacts.

I’ve seen a lot of options out there, but I’m unsure which one will provide the best protection and durability.

Does anyone have experience with windshields that excel in these environments? Are there specific brands or materials you recommend?

I’m particularly interested in options that offer both durability and clarity.

Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Mine has Plexiglas that folds down in the middle..it's crap..the fold makes for poor visibility up or down and it's now so scratched up I can barely see thru it.

I agree, while mine doesn't fold you can take either half off. I will have to take the top off if I use it much as it's so bad I can barely see thru it. Oh, its plexiglas.

A little late on this but similar to what has been discussed above, plexiglass is junk. I had one on my Can-am Commander and just threw it away. It was hazy and had terrible visibility. I would suggest getting a laminated glass windshield with vents. They are well worth the extra money. There are a lot of companies that make affordable aftermarket windshields as well. I have personally used Alpha Windshields and been very happy with their product. https://www.alphawindshields.com/ just depends on what side by side you have. If they don't make one that fits then there are quite a few companies that make a nice product. That is my suggestion.

      Glass Honda Talon windshield adapted to Hisun Sector
      By HighSon
      This mod is not for the fainthearted, as it requires some basic metal fabrication and welding skills.  But the result is worth the effort IMO.  I chose an aftermarket Honda Talon windshield based on economy, size, and construction (aluminum frame, DOT glass, folding, windshield).  It fits OK, a little narrow at the top, and you need to incorporate the lower section of the original acrylic windshield and build some additional plates, but better than being too wide.  If you are wondering why I attacked this mod, it's because mine is driven daily on the street.  Tired of fading, scratchy, hazy plastic.  Sucks in the rain; sucks at night.  Now I can see.

      Cheapest UTV?
      By klm
      If anyone is looking for the cheapest UTV, with dump bed, winch, roof and windshield, I just noticed that lowes has the axis 500/ hisun UTV on sale for 4500 (at least in my area) They are $4500. ($9000 original). I have one - they have some issues, but nothing catastrophic. My biggest complaint is that it is under powered. Also the winch failed. They are still selling an extended warranty - which I would take, just in case. My guess is lowes wants them gone.

      Which is the best oil to use ?
      By Prepper
      I have been doing a little research on which engine oil is best for UTV engines.  There seems to be some disagreement over using a good quality regular engine oil, and the necessity of using "M2" (or wet clutch suitable) oil.  My understanding is the "wet clutch" suitable oil has less friction reduction properties (hence a more responsive clutch with less slippage).  While less friction reduction properties would seem to be better for the wet clutch... it would not be best for the internal engine parts like camshaft bearings and other moving parts where friction is detrimental and would lead to premature failure.  Some folks swear you need M2 oil, while others say they have been using regular motor oil for years and their clutch is just fine.  Could they both be right ???
      Any thoughts ?
