The SuperATV Can-Am Defender Half Windshield uses a forward-facing lip to route wind and dust up and over the cab, so Defender HD5 through HD11 owners keep open-cab airflow without taking the blast in the face. It is impact-resistant polycarbonate, mounts to the frame with the included clamps, and its low profile keeps your sightlines clear.
This is a half windshield for Can-Am Defender owners who want less wind without closing in the cab. As a UTV half windshield it is the lightest, simplest Can-Am Defender windshield option, and the same polycarbonate windshield fits as a Can-Am Defender HD8 windshield, Can-Am Defender HD9 windshield, Can-Am Defender HD10 windshield or Can-Am Defender HD11 windshield, plus the windshield for Can-Am Defender MAX trims listed in the fitment section.

FAQ
Does the half windshield fit every Defender HD size?
SuperATV sells the same half windshield, part HWS-CA-DEF-71, for the Defender HD5, HD7, HD8, HD9, HD10 and HD11, including the listed MAX trims.
How does a half windshield keep wind off me?
The raised, forward-facing lip redirects wind and dust overhead while the lower height keeps your view open.
Will it work with my roof?
SuperATV states it works with most hard and soft tops.
How is it installed?
It mounts to your frame with the included clamps. An install sheet is available for this part.
Should I get a half or a 3-in-1 windshield?
Choose half for hot-weather airflow and simplicity. A 3-in-1 or flip windshield gives more all-season flexibility and protection.
