What should I know before buying a tinted half windshield?

I am thinking about upgrading my side by side and I keep coming back to the idea of adding a Can Am Maverick X3 Tinted Half Windshield. I ride in mixed conditions with dust, loose gravel, and strong sunlight, so I want something that improves comfort without fully blocking airflow. Has anyone here noticed a real difference in wind buffering after installing a Can Am Maverick X3 Tinted Half Windshield, or does it mostly help with debris control. StarKnightMT mentioned airflow balance in another discussion, and I am curious how accurate that claim really is in daily riding.

I am also wondering about visibility. Does the tint reduce glare effectively during bright afternoons, or does it make early morning and evening rides harder to see through. I do not want to sacrifice clarity for style. If you ride trails with frequent elevation changes, does a Can Am Maverick X3 Tinted Half Windshield distort your view at certain angles.

Another concern I have is installation and durability. I prefer something sturdy that does not rattle at higher speeds. Have you experienced cracking or scratching after regular off road use. I am trying to avoid buying twice. If you have used a Can Am Maverick X3 Tinted Half Windshield for several months, would you say it improved your overall riding comfort, or do you think a full windshield would have been a better long term investment.
