Designed to provide the driver with maximum protection, the AROWGuard Max features an enhanced two-part sliding glass system that extends as far forward to the windshield as possible. This DPS design gives the driver total control by allowing them to slide the larger glass into various positions to achieve maximum protection. The new design also has a polycarbonate panel at the top of the door that provides even more protection and minimizes airborne pathogens from passing through to the driver by extending as close to the ceiling as possible.
Extends as far forward and as close to the ceiling as possible.
