New to here and side by side. I have been told you can blow the windshield out hauling on an open trailer. One piece full windshield an a roof is what I have on it now but want to add soft doors and back windshield later. Thanks

I have a SuperATV flip up full windshield on my T4. I have towed it thousands of miles on an open trailer with no issues at speeds up to 75 mph. As mentioned above, all those miles were with it facing forward. I wouldn't want to tow it facing backwards with the windshield on.

I agree. Unless you are towing at ludicrous speed, it shouldn't be a problem. I've open towed my full windshield T2 at 75MPH with no issues at all. But honestly, we probably shouldn't tow anything above 70MPH anyway. I know we do, just that it isn't recommended. (Trailer tires are not rated above 70)

Only warning I would offer is that if you happen to have a T2 and want to tow at 70MPH plus, remove your side panels over your storage boxes. If the wind catches them just right, they WILL blow off. This is NOT a concern on the T4.

Good question! Thanks for asking :icon_thumleft:

If you're worried about it I can suggest this product. Go to Amazon and search for "UTV Windshield Fast Strap four"

(Link added at bottom)

I installed them on my windshield and it makes taking the windshield on an off a breeze. Easily the most convenient windshield mod available.

Makes it easy to take off for transport and also on those hot days where you want a breeze through the cab.

I did have to order two sets of these because my windshield has 6 connection points.

Cool! I've never seen windshield straps like those before. Thanks! I'm adding those to my next shopping list!
