No regrets with my Honda hard coat yet, search other posts. like the access to under the hood and easy on/off. Tight when cracked open, easy adjust tension by rotating cam lock handle. Wash it with pressure washer, then small squeege. Not much options when dirty on trails. Rubber bottom does put black stuff on hood.

Here is my nearly a year old 200.00 hard coat windshield . Scratch free . If you use a little bit of brain when cleaning it , there is no issue .

scratching. ..

Nope, doesn't have Honda on it, and was Honda OEM.

Yeah, my half shield has it too. Wonder what's up with that?

Weird...

I have a 2015 with the 2 piece 200 dollar from ebay Dabomb. Would buy it again and been on a year and a half and over a thousand miles. Does it have swirls from cleaning? Nope. Does it have micro fine scratches top to bottom? Yup, because of how I run the towel on it top to bottom. Does it affect vision? Nope. Good thread.

Swirls...are scratches. .
they all do that

The Honda half windshield and the standard flip up windshield have the Honda decal (both are Honda "Signature" accessories), but the flip up hard coat doesn't have the black border or Honda decal. The hard coat windshield is a Honda "GENUINE" accessory.

No wonder yours scratched so bad, it's the non hard coat version. Not to say the hard coat doesn't scratch, but not as easily.

If a full windshield were scratched up as bad as my half shield is, it would be coming off, I'll trade some wind to the face to be able to see. I honestly see no need or practicality for a full shield 8 months out of the year. Unless it was stored outside with no cover, might keep some of the rain out.

I don't have one, so it may be a POS, but this is the one I was eyeing...pricey though.
Honda Pioneer 500 Scratch Resistant Flip Windshield

That's the one I bought. It is a little pricey but it's very high quality and works very well. The only down side is it takes a couple minutes to remove the bottom portion of the windshield if you need to get under the hood. To me it was worth it because I got the best of both worlds. Full windshield, open part way as a vent and open all the way for max airflow.

I wish there were either a Consumer Reports version of SXS shopping or a dealership that had all the different windshields on display. Wish in one hand, Shirtz in the other....Whatever I get, it has to work with the Camo Bimini I had already ordered. Another concern I have is how well they seal against the elements around the edges. Something else I'm wondering is, many people's driving habits are in different environments so although each may have similar trail obstructions, some may have more detritus than others like riding in the rainforest-like conditions of the eastern or Pacific Northwestern US vs. dry western deserts or snow covered mountains, coniferous forests and frozen lakes or tundra. I totally value everybody's opinions and each are going to have both shared and personal trail experiences that help rate the equipment we buy for our machines. So making a decision to get a whole, half, folding, flipping, glass, or just foam filled glasses...it's a tough decision to make without ever having seen any of them in person. It's also a lot of money in the scheme of accessories. By the time all is said and done, I'm sure I will have quite a few extra $1000 sunk into this addiction. I definitely want a way to deflect wind, snow, rain and debris without sacrificing visibility or loss of visibility wether it's from mud caked and sun baked or from scratches as large lacerations or small swirly spirals. I may just wait a little longer and concentrate on tires, a winch plus building up the bed and so on. It's a bit overwhelming to the novice like myself, I'm hoping that when I do get one, that it'll be the best for my needs. Again, thank you to everyone for their feedback and your personal opinions, both past and future posts.
