SuperATV Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Rear Windshield | 2017-2022 | Standard Polycarbonate - Light Tint

This rear windshield was east to install. Fit great .

We have a new Polaris Ranger XP 1000 and prefer to have it open until the cold weather season. So we needed removable windshields.Installation required us to remove the dealer installed Polaris roof in order to attach it given the bottom brackets it sets upon and to get the screws aligned in the holes at the top. Not difficult but an extra step and cannot be done easily out on the trail. The nuts for the larger screws at the top section that hold the metal bracket were very hard to turn as they were very tight fit onto the screws, requiring Allen wrench and open ended wrench. Plus do not fully tighten them until you fit the window against the frame holes for proper alignment. Then press hard so the screw is long enough to reach the knob that needs to hold it in place.The instructions do not describe the actual tools needed so do this close to your tool box. You have to look closely at the diagrams and photos on the web to know how to install the lower brackets They screw onto the inner surface of the window (facing the cab) and then the lower part of the bracket hangs inside the cab with the middle horizontal part setting upon the frame. Given it is nonreturnable you would not want to remove all the plastic until you are sure about the fit and are therefore careful and concerned not to scratch it while you try it against its positions to ensure it will work. Ours lined up well.Peel back the protective plastic coating on both sides of the window in order to attach the rubber molding and screw in the brackets - for just a few inches around the edges and when finished installing the window then remove the plastic.The instructions would have been better if they suggested using a rubber mallet to install the rubber molding around the edges - this was a great tip I read in a review. Note there is a thin metal strip running in the inner portion on either side of the U-shaped rubber channel = the part that attaches to the edge of the window - so you need metal shears to cut the rubber molding to size.Useful tools = Allen wrenches, open ended wrenches (I think # 11 and #13), rubber mallet, metal shearsFinally what is not in the advertisements is the warning to not drive on an open trailer with the windshields installed - wow that would be a hassle to remove them every time you want to use the vehicle! It says you can add straps around the front windshield for securing it (which is not screwed in like the rear window).Overall it looks good and well designed, and we are so far happy with it, but it will take longer than some reviewers stated to install it. Now that we know what to do, it will be easier next time.

great product. Easy to install

Don’t know what the complaints are. Get the rubber gasket on, attach brackets, loosen the plastic roof, install windshield. I found it simple. I don’t even know why people are having problems with this. I have a 2019 ranger xp1000 crew. Fits great.

Straight forward install. Not very tinted at all, thought it would've been darker.

Seems great but too early to know how scratch resistant it is, that why I gave it a 4 in that category. Easy to install.

Good value for money easy to install about a 2 hour job

This would have been a 5 star across the board if it were not for the factory roof. To save yourself a lot of headaches I want to make a suggestion.Install the gasket as shown in the instructions including the V notches. Install the upper window bracket and call a friend. The factory roof makes this all but impossible to install with the angle brackets installed. Remove the 4 screws from the rear of the roof, place a wedge on each side of the roof from the roll cage frame just under the roof. With a friend, slide the windshield in place with the screws going into the cab and install the knobs. Then build out the angle brackets after the top is secured. Life will be much easier.
