Don’t miss out on the fun of riding through the rain. Some of the best times you can have off-roading involve ripping through mud puddles and embracing the moods of Mother Nature knowing you can take it all in stride. A reliable windshield wiper opens up the realm of riding in all kinds of weather, no longer just sunny, clear days. Hit the road or trails and trust that your high-quality wiper will see you through rain or shine.
You’ll need to get a windshield wiper that is specifically made for your windshield material, whether it's made of glass or hard-coated poly. After that, you can decide if you want a 12” or 13” blade, hand-operated or electric, and lastly, whether or not you want a washer kit included. To help with these decisions, consider the type of climate you live in and how often you encounter rain, mud or snow when you’re riding. Maybe you don’t get much rain where you live, maybe you get a lot. Maybe you watch the weather like a hawk and don’t take your rig out unless it’s clear skies. Depending on your answers, a manual wiper may do you just fine, or you may need an electric one with a washing kit to stand up to the demands of your environment.
Manual/Hand-Operated Wipers: These wipers you have to manually crank usually using a pivot handle that is mounted on the opposite side of the windshield inside the cabin. They are the most cost-effective option for riders who don’t plan on riding much if the weather isn’t ideal or live in areas that don’t get much rain.
Electric: These wipers are electrically powered much like wipers in cars and trucks. They are more expensive that manual wipers, but come in handy when you need constant wiping action in the face of regular showers or random moods of weather.
Windshield and Washer Kit: Washer kits give your wiper system an added boost when it comes to clear rain, mud and debris. Just like a wiper system in your car, the washer kit pumps a cleaning fluid onto the windshield to help further clear and clean it. A great addition for riders who need that extra function to get a good clean windshield in the face of overly dusty or muddy terrains.
