 Hey, I'm Chris with razor back off-road. I'm the engineer that worked on our new Polaris Ranger folding front windshield We've been working on it for quite some time now, and we're really excited to share it with you So I'm going to run through some of our features and benefits for this on this new window we actually came out with a Automotive style windshield wiper, so it's much larger We wanted it to hit as much of the glass as possible You still got your lever in here manual wiper so you can Wipe whenever you need to Along with that we fit the largest piece of glass we could inside this roll cage It really gives you the widest viewing area as possible. We also included our RBO style vent just like all our other windshields. You've got some nice aluminum flaps in here You can control all the airflow in your cab when your windshields up or You can go ahead and flip it right down. We have a latch here on this side Just walk right over Flip your latch on this side and Your whole window folds right down. We use our stainless steel hinges here. They rivet right on no pinch You can't hit your finger or anything They'll they'll last forever No rusting you fold down just like this Then we came out with a new bracket in the front some of our under other windshields attached on the side We needed to figure out a way around that because this glass is so big We actually made a bracket come right out of the front and Our same Jeep style latch hooks in here You slide it up Pull it in and latch it right on like that Then you're nice and tight you can head down the trail keep your window down Now full airflow through the cab So another nice thing about this windshield once you once you flip your window down You have a really nice open area here for anything you might need to do you can lay maps down on it You could eat lunch on it set your lunchbox out Building plans whatever you might need to do. It's also a really nice Shooting surface if you need to rest a gun you can shoot out of it shoot off of it Something else we really wanted to address with this window We wanted to make sure you could still put your mirrors on it because when you get these rangers loaded up with a Rack like we have on here. It's hard to see out the back So mirrors can be really important on these especially if you're plowing or doing something like that We made sure the brackets would fit right on here in the windshield will fold up and go right past it Folds up real nice and easy. You can latch your thing your rubber latch down It'll hook on to the front that way when you're going down the trail. It's not bouncing around You'll fold your window right up It'll clear your mirror nicely And we actually put we really made sure to gasket this tight around the edge So you'll compress your gasket turn your latch Come right over to the other side You're latched in and ready to head down the trail We're gonna pause for a minute. I'm gonna pull this windshield off And then we're gonna run through the full windshield installation for everybody All right, we're back. We got our windshield pulled off our ranger here We're ready to go through the install procedure for you guys When you first get your windshield You might want to lay it out like this. It's a little bit easier to see everything It'll come with all of your mounting hardware and some additional gasket so we can get a really nice tight seal around the edges We are really proud of the fact that this windshield is so easy to install It will go into all existing bolt holes All you have to do is remove some of the factory bolts and replace them with some of ours You can do it all with hand tools Obviously if you have some Electric impact and things like that you can make it a little bit quicker, but you can do everything with hand tools You're going to need a Phillips head screwdriver a Flathead screwdriver I'm going to be using a 3-8 ratchet An extension here. I've got a T40 Torx bit a 10 millimeter socket a 3-8 socket a 7-16 socket and then a 3-8 and 7-16 ratchet wrench Little bit about the hardware here. We've got some metric bolts To replace the factory bolts that we'll be pulling out and then we've got some standard bolts here It's important to keep those separate. We don't want to get them mixed up You'll be able to tell the metric bolts because they are Serrated bolts you can actually look under the flange here and you will see some ridges That's the easiest way to keep those separate. All right, so now that we've got our tools laid out We're ready to get started on this. I'm going to start with our upper bracket here It's the long skinny bracket We will also need our this is our center clamp for the upper bracket It has two bends in it and we'll grab a three-quarter inch long quarter inch bolt and none so I'm going to take this Slide it right in here. It's a nice tight fit. So it'll stay up there It's important to push it to the top of the channel Make sure it's all the way up nice and tight And I'll climb right in here Put the bolt in from the outside. That way you have the nice part showing. I'm there loosely I'll grab my 3 eighths and 7 sixteenths wrench Make sure that's good and snug Next we'll grab our side clamps. They're the only other two clamps we have here and for this We'll grab our there the quarter by 20 by one inch bolts. They're a little bit longer And then two nuts I'll line it up and just get the get the hole lined up with the bracket there Slide the bolt in from the outside. I Typically like to put them both on loosely before I tighten them down Same 7 sixteenths and 3 eighths wrenches here. So now we'll go ahead and get both sides tightened down And we'll move on to the next piece All right, so the next part we're going to put on here is going to be the front rest for the windshield To do that. We're going to pull off the hood set that on the side and We're going to be taking out These four bolts here on these two steel brackets under the hood the front two are going to be a 10 millimeter socket, so we'll go ahead and pull that out Mine are loose right now, but the rear two are going to be our T40 Torx bit We can just set these bolts aside. We're not going to need them. We're going to be using our own Okay Once those are out of the way We're going to take our bracket here, and you'll see the Lower two holes in the grill Our bracket will slide right in those two And line up with all four holes now. I'm going to grab all of our Four metric bolts. These are the ones with the serrated flanges on them. That's the best way to tell I'm going to put the rears in just get them started nice and loose Now the front we're going to want to use these little spacers The aluminum spacer will go between our front rest bracket and the plastic that comes in from the grill and We'll slide our bolt right down in Might need to move the bracket over to line it up Now that we've got everything started We're going to take our 10 millimeter socket go ahead and tighten everything down So we will get these tightened down and then throw the hood back on So after we get our front windshield rest all tightened down and good to go We won't need to get into the hood anymore. We can reinstall that Should have plenty of clearance right there to install it with our new bracket on there still Watch that down Next is going to be our gasket. So we send the windshield with two 27 inch strips of gasket We're going to want to install them. We can start right from this piece and head down to the corner All you have to do is pull a little strip off the back I'm going to put it right in the corner of the roll cage. You'll see where it lays in there nicely And it should go right about to the bottom down here Just make sure it's nice and straight and that will give our windshield a really nice seal along the edge edges We're going to get ready to install our lower panel now for the windshield to do that We're going to have to gain a little bit of access to the back of the dash And we're also going to have to open up some mounting holes So we're going to need to remove a couple of these plastic rivets here to do that We you can use a screwdriver pop the top of the rivet out a little bit You may want to put some tape around the area so you don't scratch up your dash I have this little rivet tool here. We can slide that in right behind Pop it out just like that There we go This one. I'll show you how we can use the screwdriver Pop the top of the rivet off and then I'll use my Right here We're getting the two closest to the center in the front Here and here and then also the two that are holding the cup holder down And we've got all them out Set all this aside The cup holder will pop out really easily now we can just pull it straight towards the center of the cab Just like that Now we have access all underneath the dash we can get to those holes and Mount our lower panel our holes are cleared out and we've got access to the back of the dash now now We can go ahead and get our lower panel in So this is all one piece we'll slide it in all together I'm going to line it up right here. You'll see the little ear that is going to line up down there I'll push it a little bit to get it in but it should pop right into place Then we're just getting into bolting it down so I'm going to grab We have our Quarter by 20 by three-quarter inch long bolts. I have two of them and two nuts You'll see where the tab on the roll cage lines up with our mounting ears here I'm going to put the bolt in from the inside right into the cage Put that on loosely Come around to the other side. We got that now. We'll put the lower two bolts in These are going to be our longer quarter inch bolts. They are the inch and a quarter and you'll see Where the holes in the panel line right up with those Rivet holes that we took out earlier When you're in here, you'll be able to reach right into the back of the dash. It's very open now We've got everything installed loose We're going to leave it just like that and we're going to grab the windshield panel and get that set on there We'll get everything lined up and then get it tightened down We got our lower panel installed we left all the bolts loose that way in case we need to adjust it later We can I'm going to come over here Grab our window. I like to put it on right from the front That way you can look at your hinges And kind of line them up. We're then going to use our Last two quarter inch bolts that are left and nuts. They're the stainless ones Slide them in right from the outside Throw a nut on do the same on both sides Next I'm going to grab our Phillips screwdriver and 7 sixteenths wrench we're going to go ahead and Get our hinges tightened up because we're not going to have to take the window off anymore You're going to want to snug them up so they won't rattle But we're still going to want to be able to move the window you can tighten one up and check it Come over and tighten the other side up Now our windows bolted down Next thing we can do is flip it up and check our alignment We're going to want to look at both sides the gap on either side That's why our lower panel is a little bit adjustable In case you need to move it up and down Next thing we're going to do is set one side and we'll adjust the side. We'd like to move a little bit Our passenger side looks pretty good right now, so I'm going to push it down Set that in place I'm actually going to flip the window down. It's a little bit easier To do that. We're just going to use a 3h wrench and 7 sixteenths It's a little bit tight fit in here in the cage, but just tighten it right down I'm going to take a look at the other side now Flip the window up. I Think this side could shift up just a little bit so I can slide it just like that push it up Then I'll fold the window down and tighten it down a little bit Now we'll check it one more time We will want to push it down and latch it So while we're checking the alignment of our windshield We're going to want to flip it and take a look if our gasket doesn't quite line up with the edge of our windshield here We can actually adjust that just a little bit We want it we want our windshield to come right against the top of that seal That way when you flip up To get this windshield to lock you're going to push down a little bit and then turn that way It always keeps a little tension on the latch and keeps a nice tight seal Our last two bolts to tighten up for our install are going to be these two center bolts You may need to have some help for this so Erica's going to give me a hand and hold the nuts on the inside I'm going to reach right here with the 3 eighths wrench on the outside Tighten this one up now. We'll switch over tighten the other one Now we're installed We're good to go. We have a functioning folding front windshield Okay, now that we're all bolted down. We can go ahead and install our cup holder again Move this down Folds down real nicely now I'm going to come around here grab our cup holder This will slide right back in where we pulled it out of We'll take our two plastic rivets Pop them right in place That's real easy. You don't even need any tools and we're set so Now whenever I do an install, it's good to go over everything make sure everything functions well We're going to want to flip it up latch everything down Make sure the latches line up flip it back down Make sure our front latches line up. I Like to latch them both at the same time so you can really pull on it Make sure everything's tight Now that you've checked that everything's tight and lined up. You're good to go Hope to see you out on the trail
