P1000m5 DIY Minimalist Mud Flaps: <$50

[IdahoSxS]

Sorry for the late reply. My perception is that the windshield being dirty has more to do with water splashing up over the front of the machine then off the wheels. By the time it comes off the wheels it's headed back toward the side of the body. Imo front fender flares don't do much to keep water off your face, maybe off your arm.

Maybe a combination of both. Oftentimes my windshield is collecting mud when not going through puddles. I seek out puddles to splash so water can "clean" windshield but after reading about water issues in this forum, seeing water cascade into floorboard and finding water in my tool bag stored under the hood, I probably won't do that any more. I'm going to try some type of flare and can report back.
