I also run the Bent Metal vented full glass windshield. I love having the full glass ones. Have had poly and they just scratch and collect dust.

For you guys with glass ones, are you coating the glass with anything? If so, what?

Running a glass brp windshield, no coatings, added brp wiper system.

I did run a duct that channels air from front to reduce heat and dust problem.

Do you have a pic of the ducts?

No coating. I have glass cleaner and a cloth I use on the trail. Only need it if I get mud. Other than that it works all day. No scratches or issues at all.

Heard coating is not good.

I'm thinking I need to do some ducts. I only used my windshield one day in the dunes last season when it was cool and windy.

I have both Ryfab full glass and Can Am half only takes a few minutes to change them out according to the weather

Does the back window help with the dust when you have the front windshield? I ride in the desert and I get a lot of dust circling back into the cab

Yes, it is almost mandatory to have a rear window when having a front. I tried the rear bet with my bent metal front windshield and it sucked in a lot of heat and dust. A spike rear window helped a lot. Still get dust swirl from the drainage holes in the skid plate, but it’s much better with the rear window

If you get a windshield that doesn't seal all the way down to the hood, the rear window isn't needed. Just some air coming by under the windshield makes a big difference.

I have my vents open on my BM windshield, and I still dont get enough airflow through the cab

for the people that like the full glass windows and live in worm climate there was no real solution.... so I started by researching rally roof scoops and came to the conclusion to make my own this is the prototype. The air flow is 400 CFM has vents that can be closed to keep worm on cold days or nights and was fitted on BM vented roof

^^^ That's a neat vent setup, look effective.
SuperATV makes a half windshield, tried it for a day and took it off. The top of the shield sits right in my line of sight (seats in low position, I'm 6'-4"), it was annoying me to no end. I'll try it again on my next sand run, maybe I'll like it better than I did on the trails. The OEM half shield looks to me like it would work better.

Thanks for sharing. That’s an ingenious setup! I have the canam plastic roof so my options are limited a bit I think.

My biggest issue is hitting water puddles when it’s cold outside or really damp...the interior fogs up badly...with the bent metal vents open, I need to run about 50 to get enough air flow through it to clear it. I’ve used rain x anti fog and it works for a little bit, but inevitably the fog reappears. Can’t run 100 yards on the trail in west va without hitting puddles....not an issue when warm out...just when temps are cooler. I was wondering if some kind of fan setup would alleviate this?

It seems like the ones complaining about the dust and heat don't show a pic of the max or don't have one and show the 2 seat so does it still be an issue with the max or am i mistaking

The vents rotate 360 degrees and open and close so it would help if turned at windshield would work little like a defrost with out heat it would be slower than a normal defrost

Windshield = Heat in all SXS that have a front mounted radiator its one of the drawbacks for most
