P1000 Flip up windshields eBay

[chuve]

Was looking at eBay and noticed listing for a flip up windshield that is almost half price of the SuperATV models. Curious if anyone has purchased one of these and how they have held up?

You posted this question twice Fyi lol.

Never seen it before? Looks exactly like the SATV one as if they sold the plans to some others? Not sure just speculation. @SuperATV what say you? Lol

OP, this is technically your first post. You posted a pic but not of your machine yet. welcome to the Forum.

Or they reverse-engineered it. Or it's a scam.

Seller is from China, but listing says product ships from Delaware.

Listing says they've sold 41 of them, but there are only 5 total reviews and 4 of them are 6+ months old

Yeah I saw the information about seller and thought same thing. I tried to restore my existing scratched up shield and it hasn't gone well. Less scratches but now haze across the whole thing. Didn't want to spend so much on something that takes such a beating so was looking for alternatives

@chuve Where are you in Ohio?
I have a honda split windshield I will let go for the right price. Something you can practice polishing on.

there are quite a few plastic polishes available at marine supply's that will help remove minor scratches. works best if you are ok with a buffer. also some spray and wipe

Buy it and give us a review. I'm sure the factory that builds that windshield for superatv has stole their design and is selling it. Happens all the time.

Gave up trying to polish mine out too. Now use a 1/2 windshield.

Abrasive polishes, used to remove scratches, works well on acrylic plastic (trade name Plexiglas). Abrasives do not work well on polycarbonate (trade name Lexan). The plastic windshields on sxs are mostly going to be polycarbonate for safety reasons, as polycarbonate is much stronger then acrylic. Acrylic can shatter and make sharp shards on impact - it does polish out nice though!

SuperATV.com has a page that covers how to care and clean your polycarbonate windshields.

Not sure if the eBay windshield is hard-coated or not, but that can alter how you clean it as well.

The eBay listing says is "Materia: Plastic", "Clear & Scratch Resistant", but says "Surface Finish: NO". Also says "Brand: Unbranded".

I do NOT see the word "polycarbonate" anywhere in the ad.

Thank you for the clarification!

We have a few copycats out there, for sure!

Found one here on this forum....where the company was actually sending OUR instructions with OUR logo on them! They were literally just printing them off the website. 🤣🤣

That’s a lot of negative reviews. I would not do business with that seller.
