I'm down in Texas and even with it partially open, I get a pretty good amount of air coming in. Like Spartan said, I hear a lot of stories about the poly windshields scratching pretty easily which is why I shied away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn’t any rock chips but I found it flexed around a lot. I had it on the 1/4 open option so maybe you aren’t suppose to ride with it like that that?? That’s why I was on this forum to figure out where I could better spend my money, it was a very expensive windshield and I only had the bike for a month before this happened so as you could imagine I wasn’t impressed when they said it wouldn’t be covered under warranty. So I’m open to any additional info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It retails for $625 (Free shipping) which isn't bad and I have a 15% off coupon that makes it a "no brainer". https://www.superatv.com/can-am-defender-scratch-resistant-flip-windshield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also went with the glass and have had zero issues riding with it either wide open or 1/4 open. I do, however, ride a little less aggressive on trails or through the trees with it wide open just for peace of mind. I have driven down the road, around the top end of the machine, with it wide open and had no issues. With all that being said. I do agree that the can am glass flip out windshield is a little pricey, but someone once told me "buy once, cry once" with the idea that I would be buying multiple carbon windshields because of scratching. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
