The SuperATV Can-Am Defender Flip Windshield lets Defender HD5, HD7, HD8, HD9 and HD10 owners run closed, vented or fully open from inside the cab, using a multi-stage latch and gas struts on scratch-resistant 1/4-inch polycarbonate. A foam gasket and bulb seal close it tight, and a metal cross-brace with heavy-duty clamps keeps it rattle-free.
This flip up windshield for Can-Am Defender HD5 through HD10 machines sets three ways, so it covers the job of a Can-Am Defender folding windshield and a full windshield in one. If you are searching for a Can-Am Defender flip-up windshield you adjust by hand, this is the manual version. Whether you need a Can-Am Defender HD8 windshield or a Can-Am Defender HD10 windshield, it is the same UTV flip windshield: a 1/4-inch polycarbonate windshield with a scratch-resistant windshield coating on both sides, and one of the most versatile Can-Am Defender windshield styles for year-round use.

FAQ
Will a flip windshield keep me warm and still let air in?
Yes. You can run it fully closed to block wind and cold, vented for a breeze, or open for an open-cab feel.
Does this flip windshield fit the Defender HD11?
No. SuperATV lists this part, FWS-CA-DEF-70, for the HD5, HD7, HD8, HD9 and HD10. The HD11 uses a separate flip windshield.
Is the flip windshield DOT approved for road use?
No. SuperATV states polycarbonate flip windshields are not DOT approved because DOT certification applies only to laminated safety glass.
How hard is it to install?
SuperATV says installation is straightforward with basic hand tools, all mounting hardware and pre-cut seals are included, and it mounts to the factory cage with no drilling required. An install sheet and install video are available.
Will it stay open on rough trails?
Yes. The gas struts hold the windshield in open, vented or closed positions and prevent bouncing or slamming.
Can I run a roof with it?
SuperATV states it is compatible with most SuperATV soft and hard roofs.
