We got the tall and wider windshield back at Spyderpalooza. The wife really likes it because it is less buffering for her as the passenger. I don't believe it has effected the gas mileage one bit. We also got the one with the vent. I am not sure if it really makes that big of a difference or not.
You can clean it with Windex. That's right good ole Windex and just use paper towels and not a soft cloth. Soft cloth could hold deposits where paper towels do not.
Go for it and you won't be sorry. :thumbup:[/QUOTE.................:gaah:...Sorry DJ but some Newbie might take your advice as stated above ......IMHO putting any product that contained AMMONIA ( which most windex does ) on any type of PLASTIC is a NO NO......and wiping it with PAPER TOWELS :lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie:....They are made from WOOD and WOOD scratches .....PERIOD.........................your welcome ......Mike :thumbup:
I'll let you take up your comments with the maker of the F4 windshields themselves. In fact this is from their website. And You Are Welcome!!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[h=3]How do I clean my new F4 windshield?[/h] F4 Customs windshields solve the daunting problem that is as old as the industry itself: “How do I clean my windshield without scratching or damaging it with the wrong rags and chemicals?” Easy – with F4 Customs windshields, simply use paper towels and standard glass cleaner. That’s right, the infamous X’s (Windex® and Rain-X®) are no longer off limits! To watch a video on care instructions,

HOW TO CARE FOR AN F4 CUSTOMS WINDSHIELD
One of the great things about F4 Customs Windshields is low-maintenance cleaning. It can be done simply with a paper towel and F4 Customs Windshield Cleaner, or your favorite glass cleaner (Windex, etc.). Apply cleaner liberally to shield and wipe clean with paper towel; finish with a clean, dry paper towel. No waxy or oily cleaners; they will inhibit the performance of your F4 shield.
We advise the use of paper towels over microfiber towels to clean F4 Customs Windshields as Microfiber can retain sand or grit particles, even after laundering. These particles could cause damage to the shield; therefore, that threat is eliminated by the use of ordinary clean, fresh paper towels and the shield will retain the original perfectly-clear finish.
The F4 Customs windshield is incredibly scratch resistant; however, it is not scratch proof. Paper towels WILL NOT harm the F4 shield.
HOW NOT TO CARE FOR F4 CUSTOMS WINDSHIELDS
As part of the extensive manufacturing process, F4 Customs windshields are coated with a patented hardcoat. When the hardcoat is baked into the shield, the windshields are also sealed (helping to shed rain, bugs, etc.).
Wax-based or oily-type polishes or cleaners will inhibit the optical clarity and rain-shedding ability of F4 Customs Windshields. These cleaners will not cause harm to the shield, but may produce a light film on the windshield that could be hard to remove. This film allows microscopic particles to embed in the film, thereby creating surface tension that prevents proper rain shedding.
Please, no used microfiber cloths or laundered towels.
