The Can-Am Maverick X3 runs an open cage from the factory, so everything the front tires throw arrives at face height.
This UTV Zilla windshield closes the front of the cage with automotive laminated safety glass carrying a DOT stamp, then hands the airflow back through adjustable flap vents that you can still see through when they are shut.
A hand wiper is included, so a dusty morning or a rain squall does not end the ride. The frame is .125" aluminum, CNC cut and formed from a 3D CAD model, finished in black powder coat and clamped to the cage with billet aluminum mounts and black stainless hardware that will not rust-streak the glass.

Built To Solve: Dust, Wind And Roost In An Open Can-Am X3 Cockpit
- An open X3 cage puts the rider directly behind the front tires, so sand and gravel arrive at face height
- Polycarbonate hazes and scratches from the blowing sand a dune or desert rider cannot avoid wiping off
- A sealed windshield traps heat in slow trail going; the flap vents open for airflow and close for a clear line of sight
- Rain with no wiper means riding blind or stopping; the included hand wiper clears the glass from the seat
- Plain steel hardware rusts and stains the glass edge within a season
Best For: X3 Owners Who Want Real Glass At The Lower Price Point
- Riders who want laminated glass rather than plastic because of blowing sand
- Cold-weather and early-morning riders sealing the cab against wind chill
- Owners who want vents they can adjust instead of choosing between sealed and open
- Stock-cage X3 machines, two-seat and X3 Max alike
- Consider instead: the Moto Armor Maverick X3 vented full glass windshield if you want the heavier-duty build and the option of an electric wiper kit rather than the included hand wiper

Fitment
Fits 2017-2026 Can-Am Maverick X3, all models with the stock cage, including X3 Max, X3 64 and X3 72.
Will not fit machines with intrusion bars.
Glass windshields can interfere with aftermarket roofs, stereo and sound-bar mounts, mirrors with thick clamps, and cab enclosures. Check clearance against anything already mounted to the front of your cage. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications not listed above.
Installation instructions: windshield install guide (PDF) and manual wiper install guide (PDF).
FAQ
Will this stop dust from getting into my X3 cab?
It closes the largest opening. A full front windshield blocks the dust and debris thrown up by the front tires, which is the main source in an X3. Dust can still enter from the sides and rear, so riders chasing a sealed cab usually add the rear window as well.
Can I still get airflow with a full glass windshield?
Yes. The adjustable flap vents open to direct air into the cab and close for a clear view, and the vent panels are tinted polycarbonate you can see through even when shut.
Does it fit my year X3?
UTV Zilla lists this windshield for 2017 through 2026 Can-Am X3, all models running the stock cage. If your machine falls outside that range, check with us before ordering rather than assuming it carries over.
Will it work if my X3 has intrusion bars?
No. UTV Zilla states plainly that this windshield will not fit machines with intrusion bars. That is a hard exclusion, not a tight fit you can work around.
Does the wiper need wiring?
No. The included wiper is a hand wiper and it is manual, so there is nothing to wire. You reach up and clear the glass from the seat. It ships with its own install sheet, linked in the Fitment section above.
How does this compare to the Moto Armor X3 glass windshield?
Both are DOT-stamped laminated glass in an aluminum frame and both mount to the stock cage. The Moto Armor version is the heavier-duty build and pairs with their electric wiper kit if you want a powered wiper instead of the hand wiper included here. This UTV Zilla version is the lower-priced way into real glass.
Why UTV Zilla
UTV Zilla builds every windshield in the line the same way: DOT-stamped automotive laminated safety glass, a powder-coated aluminum frame cut and formed from a 3D CAD model, and black stainless hardware that will not rust-streak the glass. The line is designed and made in the USA, and it is priced to put real laminated glass on the front of your cage instead of plastic.
Set Up Your Can-Am X3 For Dust And Weather
Before ordering, confirm your X3 year falls in the 2017-2026 range and check that your machine does not have intrusion bars, which is the one hard exclusion on this windshield. Also check that an existing roof or sound bar does not overhang the front cage tube, since that is the most common clearance conflict on a glass windshield. Riders closing in the whole cab usually pair this with the UTV Zilla tinted rear window to cut the dust that rolls in from behind. If you want the heavier-duty build or a powered wiper, look at the Moto Armor X3 glass windshield and their electric wiper kit instead.
