P1000 SuperAtv split windshield thoughts

[RobertinNevada]

My SuperAtv split windshield came in on Friday got it installed Saturday. Install was pretty straight forward, instructions are part of the packing list not in the box. Came with Two scratches on the lower section. Do your self a favor and remove the white backing from under all the hardware first. I didn't think of that and installed the windshield and then realized I had to get the backing off and had to take each piece of hardware apart to remove backing. That added about 45 minutes to the install. Haven't had a chance to do any trail riding yet, maybe next week. I ordered from SuperAtv site and was $355.00 free shipping

I really like mine.. two things though.

One, I'd suggest adding some grease between the rops and brackets to keep them from squeaking.

Two, there needs to be a seal between the roof and top of the windshield to keep rain from coming in when running down the road. I cut a piece of alumabond and put a gasket on both sides and attached it to the rops with a couple 1 3/4" exhaust hangers. Works very well!!

I do think it's "better" on the p5 because it's not as wide and the 500 won't go as fast.

Great idea, I was wondering what I was going to do about the gap, thanks for sharing

I like mine, but....but...do not forget to locktite the bolts. I forgot the right side and it fell off in like 20 miles. Now I "think" I got them all.......

Mine arrived Friday, install was easy. I removed the white plastic film before I started. The lower piece had a bunch of scratches in one corner. It looked to me that it was caused during shipping from another part rubbing it. Called Super ATV and they are sending out another lower section. They were very concerned about how it happened. Box was undamaged. I was very impressed with their customer service. I bought it last week when it was on sale, then was also able to use the 10% discount. $335, free shipping.

but this will show you my install and look. I am happy with it though.

I dont have a pro-fess-ional channnel and I just figured out how to make it public but I hope the link works (my kiddos figured out I had it set to private).

I also just installed this windshield last week. It's a life saver compared to the full windshield I had before. I've had on 2 rides. The first ride was just 3-4 hours but I got aggravated because the two large Allen bolts at the top, one on each side that hold all the weight when the windshield is in the raised position, kept backing out on the trail and letting the windshield rattle and move around. I added some Loctite before I went back on an all day ride Thursday and never had a single issue again. In the summer heat, this windshield is fantastic! I've not had it at high speed in the rain yet to see about the water issue over the top. My lower also had a big scratch on the lower passenger side corner. It's out of the way enough that I didn't bother calling SuperATV for a new one. It's right above the gasket so it's down low out of the way but probably a big round scratch the size of a quarter.

@Bobby_BAS I had the same experience. I haven't rode since I put Loctite last weekend but I am hoping it stops the bolts from backing out. On the trail it sucks when the windshield falls, and luckily the bolts fell into the cab so I recovered them. I also had a scratch once i pulled the plastic off and cleaned it, I show towards the end of the video. I still love the windshield, it is awesome.

I did notice it creates a vacuum/suction with the windshield closed and I got a smell of gasoline so I ordered a vent tube relocation kit from the link here in the forums and lets see if it stops the smell, plus I am gonna snorkel it anyways.

I haven't ridden in rain yet.

Has anyone else taken the skin off their knuckles when shifting it into park? I did it this weekend. The next time I shifted into park, I did it again, right in the same spot. Grossed my wife out....lol

I bought 12" of 5/16" clear tubing, split it with my exacto knife, and slid it on the edge. Should prevent a threepeat....

That ledge on the lower half should be cut back away from the shift lever, IMHO.
