P700 Newbie--Honda Split Windshield Question

[BKelly]

Picked up a new 2018 700-4 deluxe 2 weeks ago, love it so far....I installed a Honda OEM Hard Coat split windshield on it (as well as bed mat, dash storage, hard roof and bed extender) and all went well. The only issue I have is the windshield "bounces/vibrates" some though where split meets base portion, in middle of windshield--not terrible, just noticeable. Trying to figure out if I'm still adjusting to it being a UTV and that it's normal, or if its a problem with how I installed it? Any feedback welcome. Have others had this "problem". Many thanks in advance!

I got some things weather stripping and put it between the pieces. It helped quite a bit.

You may be able to tweak the attachment points to see what works best.

Ours isn't too bad latched closed but it's pretty flappy in the center when riding with it popped open. Honestly I take the top section off as quickly as the weather permits.

Welcome from Missouri btw

Thanks for the responses....and the welcomes! I like the idea of weatherstripping, and taking it off when I can. Funny, mine is better when its open than when closed...I may play with the attachment points some more. Its really not too bad...I'm just use to a truck with solid windshield, I think! I've already learned a lot from this forum....and will more...thanks again.

I just open it so it don't hit . Just about 1\4 inch is all it takes lock it down and no noise or wind .

I agree with every elses comments, one other thing I do in the winter/cold months is loosen the bolts on the adjusters,then with one hand push the windsheild closed with one hand and tighten the adjuster bolt to help keep it closed tight. But 99% of the time its either opened up a tad or removed completly

? Is the OEM Honda windshield a good idea, or how about the split windshield from SuperATV for $450? Looks pretty well thought out, easy to install.
