Built for open-air riders who want the wind cut without losing the summer feel — protection where you need it, open where you want it.
Built to Run Hard. Ready for the Dunes.
Features and Benefits
- Built for the Wildcat exoskeleton cage — engineered specifically for 2012-2018 Arctic Cat Wildcat and Wildcat X models and their distinctive full-perimeter frame
- Open-air wind protection — directs airflow away from the driver and passenger while still allowing plenty of ventilation; deflects wind, bugs, and trail debris while maintaining the open-air feel recreational riders prefer
- No adjusting or repositioning needed — installs once in a fixed position, unlike a tilting windshield you flip up or down as weather changes
- Tallest half windshield on the market — sized to work great right out of the box. Need a different height? We can custom down-size it to your exact spec at no additional cost
- Mounts entirely to the roll cage — rubber-sleeved clamps wrap the uprights for a tight, rattle-free fit
- No drilling or cutting required — installs using pre-drilled holes and the included hardware, with no permanent modifications to your rig
- Clear polycarbonate visibility — shaped for your specific UTV application without sacrificing a clear view ahead
- Tow-ready — trailerable as installed, no need to remove it for transport
- Made in Wisconsin, USA — the TerraRider team focuses on accurate fitment and quality construction, and is available to help verify your machine before you order
Which Durability Level Is Right for You?
Every TerraRider windshield is made from UV-resistant, impact-resistant polycarbonate. The difference between levels is the surface coating and the thickness.
| Durability Level | Material | What You Get | Best For | Part # |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Classic Dependable everyday protection |
3/16" polycarbonate | Reliable protection from wind, debris, branches, and changing weather at our most economical price. | Property owners, farmers, and occasional riders who want dependable protection without paying for upgrades they don't need. | TK00429 |
|
VisionGuard Clarity that lasts |
3/16" scratch-resistant polycarbonate | Same thickness as Classic, with an abrasion-resistant surface coating that stands up to scratching and surface wear — so it stays clearer and looks newer over the years. | Riders on dusty or wooded trails, and anyone who cleans their windshield often and wants it to stay clear. | TK00430 |
|
TrailMax Maximum strength for demanding riders |
1/4" scratch-resistant polycarbonate | Thicker material with the same abrasion-resistant coating as VisionGuard. The most rigid option in our lineup — less flex at speed, better durability in demanding conditions. | Higher-speed riders, hunters, and ranchers putting in hard hours where flex and durability matter most. | TK00431 |

About Our Half Windshield
A great choice for riders who want protection without closing in the cab, a TerraRider half UTV windshield, or side-by-side windshield, cuts the wind at chest and face height while leaving the cab open above it. It deflects bugs and trail debris and reduces dust swirl, without the closed-in heat of a full windshield. That's the trade recreational riders make on purpose.
TerraRider makes the tallest half windshield on the market, sized to work great right out of the box — if you'd like a different height, we can custom down-size it to your exact spec at no additional cost.
Arctic Cat introduced the Wildcat as its first pure-sport side-by-side, bringing a full-perimeter exoskeleton chassis — a design previously reserved for off-road race vehicles — to a production machine, along with 18 inches of rear suspension travel. That combination helped define the Wildcat as a machine built for dunes, rough trails, and demanding terrain.
Every panel is manufactured — not imported or reproduced — right here in Wisconsin, and supported by people who can help verify your fitment. At TerraRider, every windshield is built from premium polycarbonate for unbeatable strength and clarity, so you can ride with confidence, whatever the terrain brings — sand flying across the dunes, rocks kicking up on a rough trail, a long run back to camp.

Buy With Confidence
UTV body styles, roll cages, and cab configurations can vary between model years, making windshield selection confusing. Need help confirming fitment? Our team can review your year, make, model, measurements, or photos to help determine the correct windshield application before ordering.
Should you need a return or exchange, you may do so within 30 days, as long as the protective coating hasn't been peeled back further than needed to expose the mounting holes during install.
Cleaning and Warranty
Every TerraRider UTV windshield includes a two-year limited warranty covering yellowing, discoloring, or breaking due to manufacturer or material defects.
Never wipe a dry or dirty windshield — rinse away dirt and debris with clean water first, then use a microfiber cloth in long, straight swipes. Proper care is a condition of the warranty — full cleaning instructions and complete warranty terms are on our website.
