On a Defender HD11 the weather can turn between morning chores and the ride home. This flip windshield adapts: close it for rain, mud and cold, tilt it to the vented position for a light breeze without the mess, or flip it fully open on a hot day.
Highlights
- Three positions: closed, vented or fully open
- 1/4" polycarbonate, 250x stronger than glass and 25x stronger than acrylic
- XR Optic Hard Coating resists scratches, yellowing and fading
- Bulb seal and foam gasket stop leaks and vibration
- Heavy-duty clamps for a secure fit
- Gas struts keep it from slamming shut
- Shaped to the HD11's cage and hood
- Made in the USA; 1-year warranty
Quiet and Sealed
The bulb seal and foam gasket close the gaps against the cage and hood, so you don't get drips or drafts, and the heavy-duty clamps keep the panel from buzzing at speed. Gas struts hold it in position and let it close gently.
Clear Ride After Ride
Polycarbonate won't shatter when a rock or branch hits it, and the hard coat keeps it from scratching, yellowing or fading in the sun.
Built in the USA
These windshields are made in-house in Madison, Indiana, on modern equipment, with hundreds of thousands shipped worldwide.
Flip vs. Vented Windshield
- Flip (this one): opens completely for the most airflow; best for big swings in weather
- Vented: stays fixed with adjustable vents; simpler and steady at speed
Who It's For and What Pairs Well
For HD11 and MAX HD11 owners who ride year-round. Build out the cab with a roof from Defender roofs, doors from Defender doors and a rear windshield from Defender windshields. Add a Defender cab heater for winter.
