Polaris Ranger Windshield?

[GGyuklpr]

I have a Polaris fixed glass windshield that I like, but after riding in rain, sun, and dust at Taylor Park, I’m thinking a folding or tip-out Polaris Ranger 1000 flip up windshield would be more practical.
I’m considering the Polaris glass or Lexan tip-out, but I’m concerned about height, durability, and rattling in rough conditions. Have any of you found a folding or tip-out windshield that’s worth the money?

i have the polaris brand tip out on my general. no complaints at all. I dont typically drive with it fully open, i will do the first notch on the tip out which gives a little opening to allow some air flow. but i dont really like eating everyone else's dust so typically stays closed and i take the windows out of the doors to help with the temp inside the cab.

go with the polaris flip out windshield. My 900xp had 25k miles on it before Dad crashed it into a gate and spider webbed it. They are designed to be driven hard with it open and we did all the time. I liked having it open and the wind blowing through but nice to close it when the bugs are bad or its cold. Now have the newer Northstars, Dads rattles a bit when open but there is an adjustment the dealer told him about but he hasn't done it. When I bought mine I checked to make sure it didn't rattle like Dads and mine is still tight. I wouldn't have anything but the flip up windshield, Nice for shooting gophers.

I have a Lexan windshield on my Honda UTV. They don't like high wind when it's hot out.

A few years ago on a windy, near 100 degree day I was pulling my UTV on a trailer at about 75 mph into a 30+ mph headwind. And collapsed the windshield. Thankfully, it was so hot that I was able to straighten the windshield right away and then toned down my highway speed. I later added a couple of 1/2 inch angle aluminum to the top and bottom of the windshield and it's never been a problem again, but needing to do this kind of repair/reinforcement sure surprised the heck out of me.
