Do You Need a Wiper and Washer on Your UTV Windshield?

Hand wiper, electric wiper or washer kit? What each option does, when it is worth it, and why glass pairs best with wipers.

Why a wiper matters

Rain, mud, snow and fine dust can blind you in seconds. A wiper lets you clear the windshield without stopping or wiping with a glove, and a washer clears dried dust and bugs that a dry wiper would only smear.

Hand wipers vs. electric wipers

Hand wipers are simple and inexpensive but you have to operate them yourself. An electric wiper with a washer is operated from the driver’s seat and is far more convenient on long rides, in the rain, or in winter.

Why glass is the best surface

Glass tolerates wiper blades far better than plastic, which can pick up fine scratches when dirt is dragged across it. That is why wiper and washer kits are usually paired with glass windshields.
