The RZR 170 is where most young riders start, and an open cockpit means they take every bit of dust and gravel the front tires throw. This UTV Zilla full glass windshield closes the front of the 170 cage in DOT-stamped automotive laminated safety glass set in a powder-coated .125" aluminum frame, so a youth machine gets the same glazing standard as the full-size cars.
The frame is CNC cut and formed from a 3D CAD model and fastened with black stainless bolts and washers.
Key Features
- Automotive laminated safety glass with a DOT stamp
- .125" aluminum frame, 3D CAD designed, CNC cut and formed
- Black powder-coat finish
- Black stainless steel bolts and washers
- Designed and made in the USA
Built To Solve: Dust And Debris In An Open Polaris RZR 170 Cockpit
- Young riders sit low and close to the front tires, so dust and gravel arrive at face height
- Goggles alone do not keep grit out of the cockpit on a dusty trail
- Polycarbonate scratches and hazes quickly, and a youth machine sees a lot of hands and sleeves on the windshield
- Wind chill in an open 170 cuts a cold-weather ride short
- Plain steel hardware rusts and stains the frame
Best For: Parents Setting Up A Polaris RZR 170 For Dusty Or Cold Riding
- Families riding dusty trails where the youth machine follows the full-size cars
- Cold-weather and early-season riding where wind chill is the limit
- Parents who want laminated safety glass rather than plastic in front of a young rider
- Owners building out a 170 alongside a roof and rear window
- Consider instead: the RZR 170 full polycarbonate windshield if you want a lighter and cheaper panel and accept that it will haze

Fitment
Fits the Polaris RZR 170.
UTV Zilla states the fitment as the RZR 170 without a year range, so we are not quoting one. The 170 cage has been consistent across the model's run, but if you want certainty for a particular year, ask us before ordering and we will check. Glass windshields can interfere with aftermarket roofs, mirrors with thick clamps, and cab enclosures. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications not listed above.
Installation instructions: windshield install guide.
FAQ
Which years of RZR 170 does this fit?
UTV Zilla lists the fitment as RZR 170 with no years specified, so we will not invent a range. If you need confirmation for a specific year, contact us and we will check with the manufacturer rather than guess.
Does it come with a wiper?
No. This windshield has no wiper, and UTV Zilla lists none for it. A universal 13" manual hand wiper is available separately if you want one.
Does it have a vent?
No. UTV Zilla lists no vent on the RZR 170 glass windshield. It is a full, sealed panel.
Is laminated glass safe in front of a young rider?
Laminated safety glass is the automotive standard specifically because it holds together rather than shattering into loose pieces, and this panel carries a DOT stamp. It is also far more scratch resistant than polycarbonate, which matters on a machine where hands and sleeves end up on the windshield.
Will it work with a RZR 170 roof?
UTV Zilla makes a hard plastic roof for the 170 built around the same cage. As with any glass windshield, a roof that overhangs the front cage tube can interfere, so check clearance if you are running something else.
How is this different from the polycarbonate RZR 170 windshield?
The glass version is DOT stamped and stays clear much longer. The polycarbonate version costs less and weighs less but will haze and scratch with use. Both mount to the same 170 cage.
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, including for the youth machines most brands skip.
Set Up The RZR 170 For Dusty Trails
Before ordering, check whether anything already on the 170 cage overhangs the front tube. Families closing in a 170 usually add the hard plastic roof, which is built around the same cage, and the tinted rear window to stop dust coming in from behind. A universal manual hand wiper is worth adding if your rides run into rain, since this windshield does not include one.
