How durable is the hard poly coat windshields? Scratch bad? Looking at a seizmik vented or folding windshield. Do they fog up bad in the winter? Thanks.

I have an old Mule with the polycarbonate windshield. It is all tiny scratches and with sun at an angle there is no seeing thru it. Go with glass or no windshield. I would like to replace this with glass.

My pos ranger 800 has a fold up poly windshield, it's about one of the only good qualities my ranger has. I really like being abel to flip it up on hot days and closes it on cold or rainy days.

The polycarbonate windshields are tough. Everybody around here use's them, I only know of one here that has a glass windshield and I know it has been broken at least once. If you are running in brushy country, or if you turn your S X S over you will likely bust out a glass windshield. Some of us have windshield wipers, don't use them if you have mud or grit on the windshield or they will scratch the poly, but as long as the poly is clean there is no problem and the wipers are well worth having in snow or rain. If your windshield gets muddy don't wipe the mud off with a rag or paper towel, rinse it off with water. You'll still end up with some small scratches in it over time, but that is not an issue to me. As far as fogging up, the poly is about the same as glass. I'd say it depends on how hard you are running them. If you are in rough terrain go with poly, if you're more of a flat lander go with glass.

If you do a lot of traveling with it on a trailer from point a to point b I would say go with poly. if not, go with glass.

Flat land here. The only glass windshield I’ve found so far is at the dealer and they want 1000.00 for it. My machine is a 2018 Polaris 570 midsize. Any ideas were a guy could find an after market glass windshield?
