I have had to replace the pistons on my can am glass wind shield twice in two yrs. Seems everytime there is a real cold spell they loose their pressure. I got some from a dealer and then order the last set online. Is there any truly HD pistons that wont fail?

Mine still has the ones that came
from the dealership. 2020 model. -
The canam we had at the ranch I worked at went thru pistons fast. I think the windshield is just too heavy for those pistons. When new, they would hold the windshield up great. Then after just a year or two, we had to clamp vise grips on the keep the windshield open.

I've had to replace mine twice in two years as well. I'm not sure they make any HD pistons but would be interested in some if so.Comment

I used to have to replace the ones on my rod lockers on my Skeeter. It's a lot easier than it seems and isn't that expensive. I used to get them from https://www.liftsupportsdepot.com/.Comment

I've always thought that was a poor design for those windshields. I didn't think that they were built to ride in the up position. Anytime that I've left mine up on my camper top while driving down the road, they lose the ability to go all the way up.
But as stated earlier, they are very easy to change. Just sucks to buy them so often.Comment

my mortal enemy is the windshield handle. Seems like its already rattled just about off twice and I have 200 miles on the buggy. lolComment

I have that same issue on my Ranger windshield, but it's the little peg that keeps it in the latch that falls off.Originally posted by Brian243 View Post

Its not that its hard or expensive...but dam can't we make anything that lasts anymore?? I hoped that there is some made that last 2-3 yrs and I would pay more money for.
Same with windshield wipers, I bet I have to change the wipers on my truck every 4-6mos. Everything is junk nowadays!Comment
