How to Take the Windshield Off of a Polaris Indy

Prepare early for the upcoming snowmobile season. Snowmobile windshields can crack, fade, or easily be broken. Windshield replacements and upgrades are available from your local Polaris dealer. Changing the windshield to a newer style or customizing your sled with a different color of windshield is an inexpensive way to update the look of your snowmobile.
