For ranch work, wooded trails, and rides through changing weather, this clear Yamaha Rhino flip-up windshield lets you choose between a closed front panel and a raised position for more airflow—without removing the windshield.
Why You’ll Love This Rhino Windshield
- Change with the weather: Close the panel against wind and rain, or raise it when the cab needs ventilation.
- Keep the trail in sight: Clear polycarbonate maintains forward visibility.
- Handle everyday brush: A hard coating helps resist scratches from routine trail exposure.
- Limit drafts at the edges: A full-length rubber gasket helps the panel seal against the frame.
- Support a steady opening: Gas struts help hold the windshield in its raised position.
Best For Riders Who
- Use their Rhino for property work in both warm and cold conditions.
- Want ventilation without taking the front windshield off.
- Ride near branches, dust, mud, or rain.
- Prefer a windshield designed for their specific Rhino model and year.

Material & Protection
Material

- Scratch-resistant hard coating on both sides.
- Full-length rubber gasket, gas struts, and mounting straps.
Protection
- The closed panel helps reduce wind, rain, mud, and trail debris entering from the front.
- Rubber edge sealing helps limit drafts and rattling when properly fitted.
- UV-resistant polycarbonate helps reduce sun exposure through the panel.
Design & Fit
- Flip-up design changes the windshield from closed coverage to a raised, ventilated position.
- Gas struts support the panel when raised.
- Contoured lower edge follows the hood line of the listed Rhino models.
Installation
- Follow the supplied instructions to fit the gasket, mounting straps, and gas struts.
- Check roof clearance and confirm the panel opens and closes freely.

Cleaning
- Rinse off loose grit before wiping the panel.
- Use a soft cloth and cleaner suitable for hard-coated polycarbonate; scratch resistance does not make the surface scratch-proof.
FAQs
Q1: Will this fit every Rhino made from 2004 to 2013?
A1: No. Fitment is Rhino 450 (2006–2008), Rhino 660 (2004–2007), and Rhino 700 (2008–2013). Check your exact model and year.
Q2: Do I need to remove the windshield to get more airflow?
A2: No. The panel flips up to provide ventilation and closes when you want more front coverage.
Q3: What holds the windshield open?
A3: Gas struts support the raised panel. Check that they and the mounting straps are installed securely.
Q4: Can it be used with my roof?
A4: The listing says it works with most soft and hard tops, but roof shapes and other accessories vary. Confirm opening clearance before ordering.
Q5: Is the windshield completely scratch-proof or waterproof?
A5: No. The hard coating helps resist routine scratches, while the panel and gasket help reduce rain entering from the front. Results depend on cleaning, installation, and the rest of the cab enclosure.
