StarknightMT Ranger XP 1000 Windshield - Durable Polycarbonate

Our review of the StarknightMT Ranger XP 1000 Windshield finds it best for Polaris Ranger owners who want a durable, easy to fit front windshield that cuts wind and debris while preserving visibility. Installation is straightforward with clamp mounts and no drilling, and the hard coated polycarbonate delivers clear sight lines and scratch and UV resistance. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of fitment for many Ranger XP 1000 and Crew models and the impact-resistant PC construction that stands up to trail use.
