StarknightMT Ranger 1000 Rear Window Tinted Back Windshield -UV

In this review of the StarknightMT Ranger 1000 Rear Window the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, easy-to-install rear windshield for Polaris full-size Rangers that prioritizes protection and sun control. Fitment is the standout reason to buy - this rear window is compatible with a long list of Ranger models from 2013 through 2025, so buyers who need a direct-fit rear glass replacement or upgrade will appreciate the hassle-free match. The tinted, anti-UV finish and included installation hardware make it a convenient option for drivers who want added rear protection without fabrication.

Key Features

• Broad Fitment: Compatible with Polaris Ranger XP 1000, Ranger 1000, Ranger XP 900, Ranger full size 570 and several Pro XD models, so shoppers can expect a direct fit for many model years.
• Tinted, Anti-UV Finish: The tinted windshield reduces direct sunlight and UV exposure while maintaining good transmission and visibility for safer driving.
• Rear Protection: The back window blocks stones, dirt, grass and branches from entering the cabin, improving safety and reducing debris damage to cargo and occupants.
• Noise Reduction: An all-around rubber stripe cushions the glass, increases sealing and reduces rattle and rear-window noise when driving.
• Easy Installation: All necessary parts and an instruction manual are included so one person can install the rear windshield in about five minutes with no drilling required.

Who It's For

This rear windshield is aimed at Polaris Ranger owners who want a quick, non-invasive way to add rear protection and sun control to their side-by-side. It is especially useful for people who frequently carry loose cargo or drive on trails where stones and brush can fly into the cab.

Those who need tempered factory-style glass or who require enhanced scratch resistance for heavy abrasive use should consider a different product; several buyers reported fine surface scratches, so users who expect very high scratch resilience may want an alternative or protective film.
