as far as what? as long as the window is properly installed and you dont get crazy with an ice scraper you shouldnt have any problems. However you must remember this is leaning towards a race component, but at the same time they are used on snowmobiles.

All of you guys did read that the windshield will not be ready until Spring, right? lol

Your best bet is just to keep a look out on his site or what for the guy to post something up like this, because I am sure he can't remember everyone saying they want something several months in advance. Just a friendly piece of advice...

Default Front windshield is a go!!

Ok we talked to percy's this morning and they are ready to go with the front windshields. They will be a drop-in but will not have the black-out. We need confirmed orders on these to get them going and can be to your door in 3 weeks!! Pm or call if ready to order!! Thanks again guys!

Any word on the GP on one or both of these.
I dont need this stuff for 60 to 90 days.
Will they be providing the windshield blackout later?

I lol'd when I read the people asking about using these on a windshield in the winter.

Yeah I'd prefer to wait unitl the blackout is available for the windshield just to make life a little easier if possible.


I'm not in a rush for them either, if the blackout will be available and there will be a GP on them, I'll hold out until then, and take a front and back window for sure.

it is lexan material, but is super clear. Percy's is ISO9001 aerospace certified and use this standard when producing these windows. In other words it is more clear than glass.
