Another Newbie Question: folding windshield down
Sorry for asking . . . and tried to figure this out on my own . . . BUT
WHY would you want to fold down your windshield?
I know that it is possible to do (after unbolting all kinds of screws and nuts) etc. but WHY?
If you are going out "off-roading", "rock-climbing", "mud-crawling", etc. what possible advantage would there be to folding your windshield down?
I'm sorry to ask . . . and I know EXACTLY what I want to do "off road" (more on that later I promise)
But why would you want to lower the shield? Wouldn't that throw more dirt, and tree branches, debris, etc. into your face?
Thanks so much, all best, and really loving his Jeep,
Joe

It is kinda useless on the JK because it takes so much work, and the curved windshield looks silly on the hood. But...it is a tradition.

Please . . . folks . . . some more input on this!
All best, and thanks,

Dropping the windshield is catering to people who like bugs in their diet (in some countries, it's referred to as "fast food") or like to look like pro hockey players by getting clocked by random pebbles down the freeway.
