I have been trying to decide whether to order a Honda replacement windscreen or a Clearview windscreen.
I checked Partzilla and a view others this morning and the Honda windscreen appears to be obsolete. Partzilla's price was $237.01. The ones I can find now are around $300.00 from a dealer.

The good news is that Clearview has a $25.00 off coupon good until the Dec. 15th. Coupon Code is ALL25.

I just ordered a new windscreen.

I've got both and the only difference I notice is the lack of the bottom piece on the Clearview.

Strange thing is, Clearview states two different measurements for their stock replacement windscreen  on their web page, 21" and 21.5". They say that the measurement is made from the top of the headlight cutout to the top of the windshield. I have a stock Honda windscreen that has not been altered and it measures less than than that.

Does the Clearview have the protective coating as does the OEM?

Believe all Honda OE shields are polycarbonate with coating, Clearview and most aftermarket are Lucite and have no coating.  Lucite never has a coating.

That's my understanding also, different plastic and no coating on the Clearview.  But, like I said, the only difference I "notice" is the bottom piece missing, other than that, no noticeable diff.

F4s are polycarb (thus with coating), and top of the line.
