Best Kawasaki Mule Windshield Options

When it comes to polycarbonate windshields, not every one is created equally. The Direct 2 full-tilt Kawasaki Mule windshield is among the more robust options available as it is made of ultra-thick ¼” MR10 GE Lexan scratch-resistant polycarbonate. But the Quebec, Canada-based manufacturer goes a step further by using a CNC 5-axis router for cutting, which results in smooth edges all around.

As the name implies, the top section of this full-tilt windshield can be folded down to allow for more airflow into the cab. Also, installation is designed to be straightforward with durable nylon injection clamps that require no drilling. And all the installation hardware is stainless steel, so you don’t have to worry about rust and corrosion.

The Mule PRO series has really taken off in terms of popularity. These flagship models of the Mule line are big, versatile workhorses that can get the job done and still work for having some fun in the trails. There are lots of choices for this machine and the Clearly Tough coated-polycarbonate full folding unit is one of our favorite Kawasaki Mule windshield options. Made from thick, 3/16-inch thick polycarbonate with a durable anti-scratch, hard coating that makes it extremely durable and long lasting. The coating makes the poly UV-resistant, too, so the windshield resists getting that clouded look. It’s easy to install and carries a five-year warranty.

SuperATV makes some cool stuff, and for the Mule PRO series, its 3-in-1 Windshields are really sweet. The 3-in-1 comes from the windshield being able to act as a full-closed, vented and as an open windshield with the top half flipped up. Made from ¼-inch super hard-coated polycarbonate. The super hard coating is scratch and abrasion resistant, making this Kawasaki Mule windshield resist getting the dreaded clouding effect that comes from small scratches and UV damage. These windshields come pre-assembled from the factory with easy-to install hardware, making installation on your Mule easy and quick.

A&S Audio and Shield Designs offers a number of windshield to fit various Kawasaki Mule models, including this clever fold-down design. This shield is made of 3/16" polycarbonate and lets you keep the shield up for full protection, or fold down the top half and lock it in place when you want a little more fresh air getting into the cockpit. It also doesn't get in the way of your hood compartment, so you can access that area easily. Once you buy the windshield, you have up to 30 days before you can return or exchange it. It's worth noting that you should keep the protective film on the windshield until you are sure you are happy with the product and won't be returning it.

Kolpin is one of the biggest names in ATV and UTV accessories, so it's no surprise to see the brand offers a Kawasaki Mule windshield. What is unique about this design is that the bottom portion of the windshield can be folded out to give you access to the under-hood compartment. Just keep in mind it's not supposed to be driven when open...it's just for access. Installation requires no drilling at all and you can remove the windshield without tools. The windshield itself uses hard coated, abrasive-resistant polycarbonate with scratch-resistant finish and it is held in place with injection molded c-clamps. This particular windshield fits Kawasaki Mule 4000 and 4010 models, but Kolpin also makes versions to fit the Mule 600 and 610.

Vented windshields are popular because they allow you to let in a small amount of air when you want it. This can be great for hot days, or when you need to get some air circulating to knock the fog off the inside of the windshield. This vented Kawasaki Mule Pro-MX windshield is made from hard-coated ¼-inch polycarbonate with a pair of sliding vents to help control airflow into the cab. The vent is positioned to allow great airflow without allowing in too much dust, rain or snow to get into the cab and making things miserable for you and your passengers.

The Kawasaki Mule 610 is a small, economical UTV designed to serve as a compact utility machine around the farm or worksite. There were plenty of 610s sold over the years and there is a strong demand for them on the used scene, too. Owners of the 610 will be happy to own this simple, inexpensive windshield option for the machine. It is made from an easy-to-install 600 Denier nylon fabric frame that attaches to the roll cage. The actual windshield is a durable PVC film material. The windshield can roll up when not needed, or can be vented with a zippered opening. The best part is the price - about $60! Is it going to be as durable as a polycarbonate or glass windshield? No, but for simple uses, the price of this Kawasaki Mule 610 windshield is hard to beat.
