P1000 SuperATV flip up windshield rattle

[bldmtnrider]

How bad does everyone's SATV flip up windshield rattle over bumps? Far as I can tell the windshield is hitting the mounting brackets enough that there are contact scratches on the windshield itself.

Is this fix simply adding some thin rubber to keep the rattle down or do I have something installed incorrectly?

Seems like I did add some rubber there?

I am getting a noise in the latch. I can unlatch the windshield, but still leave it in the closed position, and it stops. Not sure if I need to tighten the bolt and nut that holds the latch on at the top, or maybe add a little grease to the contact and moving parts.

Mine doesn't rattle?

OK, I may try tightening up the latch a touch and adding some rubber where the windshield contacts the mounting hardware. With only a single latch in the middle I suspect I'll still have some rattles just from the windshield flexing so the rubber will probably be a necessity. Seems like the only thing that really rattles on that machine.

Mine sounds like a kid shaking a water bottle full of rocks. I just turn up the radio or drink a few more beers!

I’ve had to adjust mine once but for the most part it doesn’t rattle.

Adam's post accurately describes the sound I get from the latch when closed! Increased stereo volume and extra beers does make it seem like less of a problem.

I agree. My window does the same. Some rubber gasket in stragetic places helps.

No rattle on mine. I spent quite a bit of time adjusting it but its good to go and rattle free. Too bad I'm about to cut it down for roof chop - my luck is it will rattle then... lol

There’s all kinds of weather stripping of different sizes and thickness that will stop all the rattles. Only takes a couple of minutes.

I'm just not sure what I would adjust. About the only lever I have to pull is moving around the center clamp. The rattle is coming from the bottom of the upper half on each side. The clamp is tight, but when I hit a bump the windshield flexes out away from the lower clamp, thus the rattle. Seems like there is just not enough rigidity in the windshield to keep the thing straight up against the weather stripping over a bump. I still have to fiddle with it but I'll get something figured out. I was riding a pretty rocky road so not super surprised.
