P1000 Glass windshield protection

[tjoreo]

We ended up buying tracks for 1000 so we were able to get it out this winter. One thing I didn't like was the filthy windshield from slush and salt grime when we got to our destination to ride so I ended up buying one of these Camco tow car windshiled covers. We only used it a couple of times but it seems to be pretty durable and costs alot less then some other covers I have seen. The straps are SUPER long so we take them around the front cab and hook them behind the drivers and passenger head rest. It gives me a little confidence keeping the front doors closed running them this far around the cab. One thing I did do was to add a couple of grommet holes along the bottom where I can attach a bungee cord to the front bumper to keep it from lifting up. Might be something to look at.

I’m to lazy to search it out…….. so, what are you guys doing to protect your glass windshield from rock damage while towing. My enclosed trailer build isn’t done yet and need to trailer it on my open trailer down quite a few miles of gravel roads.

thanks..

Get some of that 3" or 4" wide blue painters tape and a piece of cardboard big enough to cover the windshield, use the tape to secure the cardboard to the ROPS. That blue tape won't leave a messy residue like duct tape.

UTV 801 is sending me a blank model windshield protector to try out. I hope it works since it's sized for a 1000.

Picked up my new 2024 Honda 700-4 last Saturday. Past experience with OHVs started with the Honda Big Red 3-wheeler in Alaska. Progressed from there to Suzuki King Quad. Getting older and appreciate my creature comforts more these days, so progressed to my first UTV.

Sorry for not introducing myself earllier. I'm now retired from both the USAF and FAA. Time for some more ORV fun.

I almost forgot to thank everyone who has replied to my initial inquiry.

I often tow my rig on gravel roads.
The tow vehicle kicks up a lot of rocks that basically blast the front of my rig.

A set of mud flaps on your tow vehicle would help, but for a cheap fix for the windshield, how about a cut to fit piece of 1” styrofoam with a folded up moving blanket racket strapped around the frame. When I trailer mine, the worst that happens is bug splatters.
