I too have gone with the Can-Am glass flip up windshield just like Rudy has. I purchased it as an option when I got the rig and also added the wiper and washer fluid. I have only driven the rig in the fall and part of the winter so far and can't comment on how it works in the summer months when its hot. However at this point, its well worth the money. The wiper is amazing when you get crap flying up on the windshield and during hard rain/snow. Don't have to exit the rig to clean it off...that's worth something to me. I was told by the dealer that the hard-coat poly would eventually leave scratches when using the wiper so I went with the glass. It does open a few inches and locks in that position as well as opens fully. However I wouldn't try driving hard with it fully open. It has two pistons, one on each side that hold it open but I wouldn't put that much stress on them. I do drive it around with it locked into the short open position and it seems fine.
