My new 2021 NorthStar Ultimate does the same thing on the drivers side. When I open the windshield up I found that it was missing a seal on the drivers side. It has one on the passengers side, so I ordered a few. It’s item # 2 & 3. Hopefully that will get me fixed up!

Polaris quality control is severely lacking, or it may be that they actually just don’t care about how their product leaves their facility. May be both!

Funny u say that, I pulled off one of the 400 stickers left on it the other day and had all the initials signed for quality checks lol....so I think they just don’t care!

I pulled a crapload of those things off ours too. If I could have found a CanAm Defender max with a/c I may have purchased it. None to be found here in Wyoming. Plus, I think they are butt ugly! I had two different CanAm Spyder when I lived in North Carolina. Had great luck with them. They were a blast to ride. Don’t think their open belt drive would do very well here in Wyoming on our dirt roads. And, I’ve-heard that changing oil on them is a real pain in the butt!

Welcome to

I just picked up my 23 NS Ultimate yesterday. They went to great detail to tell all the places the windshield would not seal well. I told them that is a hell of a thing to tell a customer about a 30K machine. I told them I didn’t see anything about that in all their advertising for the 23 Northstar Ultimates. We live in a desert so rain is only a problem during monsoon season.

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on you new ride. I’ve had 2 NorthStar’s so far. Both have leaked! Best thing to do is just fix it yourself if you dealership isn’t close or you don’t have the time for it to sit in their shop. Worst leak for us is where the roof overlaps. Would have been great if Polaris would have had the rear roof slide under the front so it would seal better, but some bright engineer had something else in mind. We’ve used Lexel on both to fix the leak. It works great. Hopefully when it starts warming up here in Wyoming I’ll be able to get our Thumper Fab aluminum roof installed. It’s been sitting in the barn since August.

Best bang for the bucks for me on both machines was the Gilomen tune and torque monster clutch kit. Besides that, turn signals and mirrors.

I have a tip out windshield. Don’t think I’ll ever drive down the road with it open, but who knows! Never really use it unless I’m working on the dash. That’s about the only thing it’s good for. If it wasn’t for that, I would seal it so it couldn’t leak!

update..... took my machine to the dealer for warranty on the sealing issue, they adjusted the windshield at the lower mounting bracket and the windshield is sealed now. I was told though....the windshields on 21 22 models are prone to crack.

I also heard that about these windshields. That’s one reason I seldom open it. Hopefully it won’t crack, but who knows.
