I have an all weather Roxor that came with the cab and windshield. I now have a rally top cab installed with the stock windshield frame and wipers. I am looking for a windshield frame that can use a glass DOT windshield, But I’d like to still use the stock wipers that came on the Roxor. Is there a frame that has holes for wipers that will fit the stock wipers? Or is there a windshield that comes with holes drilled for wipers?

For anyone who is wondering, I spoke to Wade at diesel freak and he recommended I take the roxor to a glass shop, and they can install a glass DOT windshield in the stock roxor frame. He said they have done it a number of times and to have the shop use the plexiglass windshield as a template. Once the windshield is mounted drill holes in the frame below the glass to mount the stock wipers.

You would have thought that the stock Roxor Windshield would have been made with the wipers mounted to the frame, and not thru a hole in the plexiglass. It would make it handier to change to a glass windshield later at the local glass shop.
Keep us posted on your progress.

Did you do this yet? How did it turn out if you did? I'm not crazy with the plexiglass set up.

This was done to my Roxor, it looks like a stock job.

I am thinking about putting a brace midway at the inside bottom of the windshield because at road speeds the windshield pulses in and out.

Also, the glass people said no big deal about putting the wiper control holes in the DOT glass.

Actually the plastic framing flexes.
