| Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a windshield for my rhino and can't decide what I need or want. I am looking a little help with your experiences or opinions, help me out with the pros/ cons of a full versus 1/2 windshield. Appreciate the help. JC  | |

| Both. I run a full in the winter to help keep warm. As soon as it warms up I switch to half. Run half spring summer and fall. Cleaning a full is a pain so that's why I switch to a half ASAP each year. If we rode in warm weather all year I would never run a full shield |

| Thanks for the feedback guys. What about the folding styles? Seems like they would be pretty cool at times. | |

| Folding for sure, full keeps cold and alot of rain off you but in summer it gets to hot in cab I made mine the bottom half folds down on to hood that way in summer you get some air so it dose not get to hot but if it starts raining you can fold it up easy and works great..Just mine 2 cents... | |

| I run a full in the winter but prefer no windshield in the Summer but it would be nice to have a half for the warmer months | |

| Rhinos are pretty good about the shield not getting to dirty to often, so go with the full. Or, you could go with a fold out one if you think you will want to run it year round. I usually take mine off in the summer unless it's calling for a lot of rain. | |

| I'm leaning towards the folding style, I believe it will fit my needs better. Seems like it would be more versatile, but I'm worried about it rattling and not being secure? Thanks for all the feedback | |

| I am also debating about the full, half or fold down. When my Maverick is in Reverse, in some really good mud, you would not believe how much water and mud comes into cab. I felt like I had 100 people with a five gallon bucket, emptying entire contents on me. | |

| I had a fold down on my old rzr and it was nice to get some air when it was hot but when it got dirty and you folded it down it blocked some of my view so I went with a full EMP hardcoat and carry a pump sprayer to clean it. I like it much better | |
