Push-Button Airflow
Most flip windshields have three set positions and need a hand on the latch. The MaxDrive system uses two electric actuators, so the glass moves smoothly and holds at any angle you choose: cracked an inch on a cool morning, halfway on a mild afternoon, or fully open in summer heat. The actuators are built for rough trails and hold the glass steady without rattling.
Why Glass
Laminated safety glass resists scratches from dirt, dust and sand far better than plastic, so the view stays clear for years. It's DOT approved, and it works with a wiper, which plastic windshields can't handle as well.
Add the Wiper and Washer Kit
Use the "Choose your style" picker to add the electric wiper and washer kit. It works like a truck wiper and parks itself when turned off. The kit includes a fluid reservoir, and pre-drilled mounting points make installation straightforward.
