Really well made. Instructions need work.
By John Cooper
I installed the Kolpin two-piece Lexan windsield on my Polaris 400 two weeks ago and have been very pleased with it. I purchased this unit specifically because the windshield was made of scratch-resistant Polycarbonate rather than soft Acrylic. The parts all seem very sturdy and the window fit perfectly after a little adjustment. The only negative was the poor instructions. Apparently Kolpin decided to save paper and cram what should have been six or more pages into three. The diagrams were so small they were almost unreadable, and it was impossible to determine the most basic but necessary things like top from bottom of the main windshield, left from right on the mounting brackets, and where exactly the foam sealing tape should go. I did a lot of head scratching, but figured it all out eventually. The installation took me about three hours total. Now that I know what I'm doing, I think it could be done in one hour. You will need help when installing the main window.Some unique tools are required that your average handyman might not have on hand: 5/32" and 3/16" Allen-head sockets and a low-range torque wrench that will read down to 5 ft.-lbs. Those are not mandatory, but recommended. The engineered plastic clamps with the metal thread inserts which hold the unit onto the roll bar are supposed to be torqued to a maximum of 5 ft.-lbs. to avoid damaging them. The instructions do give an alternate torquing procedure if a torque wrench isn't available. One could just use regular Allen wrenches if one were careful.After completing the installation and with the engine running, I noticed that the lower section of the windshield was vibrating badly against the glare shield. To fix that I applied a 2" bead of RTV between the bottom of the window chafe-guard and the top of the Polaris glare shield in the center, then waited 24 hours for it to cure. It looks like it's going to hold. Kolpin should have included that fix in the instructions.Driving with the window completely closed causes some exhaust fumes to back-flow into the passenger compartment. I don't think it's dangerous, but you can smell the fumes. For that reason I've been driving with the windshield cracked open to the first notch. In that configuration, the wind flows up and over my head rather than blasting in my face so it's not a problem even in cooler weather.All in all I'm very pleased with how the Kolpin unit looks and works. I'm definitely glad I decided on this particular unit.Update: My wife discovered a better fix for the bottom section vibrating against the dashboard. She applied a 3" section of sticky-backed 1/2" foam weather stripping in the gap, and it works perfectly.

nice touch
By William G. Fattarsi
I put this on a Polaris 500 efi, fits well and meets product description. Exchanged first because bolts missing. Not a big deal unless the Polaris is 180 miles from the nearest hardware store. Amazon exchanged product which arrived within two days (remote location. I would have preferred to have had all six pages in English, pages five and six were in French. Overall love the product and highly recommend for Polaris Ranger owners. Similar windshield available from Polaris dealer for approximately $100 more.

Kolpin Polaris Ranger 400/electric full tilting windshield
By Claycrusher
Well made, good instl instructions. Plastic is quite hard, and remains scratch free so far. Note that this fits the 500EFI too. Only gripe: at certain engine speeds, motor vibration will make the windshield rattle against the cowl of the machine. (probably more Polaris' fault than Kolpin's)
