I have a first generation EMP aluminum roof and I'm looking to replace my Moose folding windshield with a hard coat windshield.
What I need to know is which windshield, if any, will fit with my roof. I'm considering one of the following listed in descending order of MSRP, but I'm not sure if the lip at the top will fit under the EMP roof, or if there will be a gap at the top between roof and windshield - comments are appreciated, as well as rough dimensions of your windshield:

> Honda Full Poly Tip Out (HC)
> Super ATV Flip Up - Has anyone added quick disconnect on bottom unit to access under hood?
> Kolpin Full Tilt (HC) - Web write up says only for low speed use when open, is this true?
> Seizmik Versa Vent - I wonder how the air flow is?
The following photos will show a relationship of my roof to ROPS.

From top cross bar to edge of roof ~5"
WindshieldGap01

Gap from crossbar to edge of roof ~3/4" to 7/8"
WindshieldGap02

From edge of roof to Moose windshield vertex ~27-1/2"
WindshieldGap03

The top of the Honda full poly tip out windshield is notched to fit the Honda roof the pivot point is up high so I don't think it would hit on the EMP roof but the way its cut might be

Thanks @dls1966, by looking at the pictures it does look like the top of both the Honda and Kolpin bend in rather than out. Is there any way you can get a rough measurement from crossbar to top of windshield?
