2015-2026+ Polaris Ranger Mid-Size SP 570 / 570 / 500 Hard Coated Windshield with Slide Vents by Extreme Metal Products
A solid windshield keeps the weather out, and then bakes you on the first warm afternoon. This Extreme Metal Products hard coated windshield for the mid-size Polaris Ranger solves both problems with built-in slide vents — close them up when it is cold or wet, slide them open when you want moving air across the cab. The panel is 3/16" hard coated polycarbonate with a rubber gasket sealing every edge, and it carries a DOT rating etched into the bottom corner. It is contoured to the mid-size PRO-FIT cage, not bent to a generic shape, so it sits tight where a universal panel would leave gaps.
Key Features
- Slide vents let you control airflow without pulling the windshield off the machine
- 3/16" hard coated polycarbonate — not the cheap acrylic used on many UTV windshields
- Hard coated on both sides for far better scratch resistance than uncoated plastic
- Polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable, so a branch or a thrown stone will not shatter it
- DOT rated, with the stamp etched into the bottom corner
- Rubber gasket seals all the way around to cut wind noise and stop water from tracking in at the edges
- Contoured to the mid-size Ranger cage for a tight, factory-looking fit
- Custom fabricated brackets and thumbscrews — comes off in a few minutes with no tools
- Made in Cleveland, Ohio

Available Add-Ons
- Hand operated wiper (P/N 12841) — clears rain and slush on the move. Mounting requires drilling a 1/2" hole where you want it.
- 4 oz. polycarbonate cleaner — the safe way to wash a coated panel. Household glass cleaners and paper towels are what turn a clear windshield cloudy.
Real Life Value and Uses
- Crack the vents on a warm workday. You get moving air at low speed without taking the panel off and finding somewhere to store it.
- Close it up for cold weather work. Plowing, feeding, and checking fence in January are different jobs behind a sealed windshield.
- Beat the fog. Vent air moves across the inside of the panel, which helps clear the haze that builds when you are working hard on a damp morning.
- Ride brushy trails with your eyes open. Polycarbonate takes a branch strike that would crack an acrylic panel.
- Keep rain and mud off your chest. The gasket seal is what stops the drip line most windshields leave down the middle.
- Pull it for summer in a few minutes. Thumbscrews out, panel off, no wrenches and no leftover brackets in the way.
- Add the wiper for hunting and plowing seasons when you are moving slow through weather and need a clear line of sight.
