If you have a full-glass windshield on your Polaris Ranger UTV, that’s great. They’re strong, durable, clear, and you can get them straight from Polaris.
But there are superior upgrades, and modding is half the fun of owning a side-by-side UTV.
So if you have a Polaris Ranger 1000, allow us to take this moment to introduce you to the Seizmik Flip-up Windshield (polycarbonate, compatible with Polaris Ranger XP 900/1000 UTVs).
Here’s what you need to know.
All the Benefits of a Glass Windshield and Then Some
First and foremost, this flip-up Polaris Ranger windshield is made from .22” thick, two-sided, hard-coated polycarbonate.
Just in case you’re not familiar, polycarbonate, A.K.A. “polycarb” is crystal clear and extremely strong - up to 250 times stronger than glass.
It also doesn’t break the way glass does, and it’s exceptionally shatter-resistant. It may not be as hard as glass, but that’s barely a trade-off.
Polycarbonate can also be treated with UV-resistant chemicals, making it just about as sunlight resistant as glass - not to mention, capable of protecting the interior of your Polaris Ranger from UV damage.
This Seizmik Flip-up Windshield also features a one-piece gasket with molded corners and fully-welded seams, creating a weather-tight fit within the channel of the Pro-Fit cage.
It’s also Seizmik and OEM compatible, with most aftermarket parts and door kits as well as with OEM roofs and cab system components. It can even be trailered when properly installed and prepared (up to 65mph).
This Seizmik Flip-up Windshield is made for durability and ease of use. It features a single-point release system that is easy to open with a twist of the handle and a latch that engages securely with minimal force.
The windshield also features a center retainer and rub plate to help minimize oscillation when riding with the windshield in the open position.
It offers superior visibility with fewer distractions; slimmer, ¾” round tubing and nylon mounts are thinner and less distracting than most stamped steel systems.
The windshield also features two tinted polycarb vents which can be opened to increase airflow into the cab, to keep things cool in the hotter months. These vents feature gasket-sealed components for ultimate protection against wind and water when closed.
Their easy-to-use louver also allows for great flexibility - these vents can even be used to direct air over the window surface, to act as an improvised defogger.
Practical, versatile, and durable, it’s the last Polaris Ranger 1000 windshield you’ll ever need.
