I bought a full windshield from EMP for the Rhino. I like it pretty well. But during deer season the old buggy sat outside over night and things got frosted up pretty well. I didn't dare want to use a scraper on the Lexan. My question is: can you use those deicer's in the spray can on them or will the chemicals hurt it as well? Having a windshield and still having to hang your head out to look around it sort of defeats the whole idea. Help the dummy out here boys! Thanks

I would NOT put any of those liquid de icers on it. They are alcohol and will most likely melt and distort the plastic. i would try to rig up a type of heater to blow warm air on it.

Same here. I run RainX on it. It dries a bit faster than windex. I carry a windex bottle full of RainX to help defrost and clean as needed.
