Golf Cart Windshield

A golf cart windshield serves to keep you dry and warm on cold, rainy and windy days.

Golf Car Windshield

A golf car windshield comes in 3 styles:

1. One Piece

2. Hinged Fold Down

3. Portable, roll up windshield

The one piece windshield like this one pictured also has a windshield wiper. This is the type of windshield that is required for a street legal golf cart.

You can also get a windshield either as clear acrylic or tinted. I chose a tinted windshield for my "new" refurbished 2006 Club Car. I think it looks a little classier and does help reduce the glare from the sun. A tinted version typically costs about $25 more than the clear one.

Now if we could get some rain this golf cart accessory would come in handy.

Club Car Windshield

You will need to know the year of your Club Car before you purchase your Club Car windshield. Golf Cart Windshield, Golf Cart Windshield Clips

There is a standard model for the years 1982-2000.5 (in 2000 Club Car made some changes mid-year so they have a split year).

The Club Car windshield is available as a hinged, fold down windshield. I really like the hinged windshield. I can't imagine why anyone would want a one piece that can't be folded down.

I keep the windshield down on warm days for the cool breeze and up on cold, windy or rainy days.

You can purchase them as clear or tinted. To see what they look like click here: Club Car Windshield

Yamaha Golf Cart Windshield

A Yamaha golf cart windshield can be purchased on line or through your local Yamaha dealer. You will need to know the model and the year of your golf cart in order to purchase the correct windshield.

Other features to consider are whether you want the windshield tinted or clear acrylic, or if your prefer a solid or a fold-down style. To learn more click here: Yamaha Golf Cart Windshield

EZGO Windshield

In order to purchase the correct EZGO windshield, you will need to know the year of your golf cart. This windshield only comes in the fold-down or split style - which is in my opinion, the only kind to get. To learn more click here: EZGO Windshield

Cleaning your Windshield

Golf cart windshields are made of polycarbonate and because they are not glass, do not clean them like you would glass windows.

You should clean your windshield with mild soap in clean water and then rinse it off with clean water. Use a soft cotton towel or cloth diaper to pat it dry. Don't wipe it with pressure as this can scratch the plastic.

Do not use paper towels and do not use Windex to clean it. Cleaning solutions with ammonia (like Windex) will eventually cause the plastic to become dull or hazy. Do not use other spray solutions and if you're out in the woods and getting pestered by bugs, be sure you don't get any Off insect spray on the windshield - it will ruin it.

If you find that there are scratches on your windshield, it is possible to remove some of the lighter scratches with a windshield polish and cleaner.

Most golf cart shops or on-line businesses sell a windshield protectant and polish. The best time to start using this product is when your windshield is new : )

Buggies Unlimited carries a really good polish. Go to Buggies Unlimited:

Portable Windshield

This type of golf car windshield is not commonly used. But if you don't normally like having a windshield, but would like one on a rainy or windy day, this would be the one to have.

Made of heavy-duty clear vinyl it rolls up for easy storage in a golf bag. Fits most popular golf cars using three elastic cords. No tools are needed to install the windshield. Click here to see what they look like: Portable Windshield

Golf Cart Windshield Clips

I've been able to delay buying a new Club Car windshield, by purchasing new windshield clips that hold the windshield in the upright position.

After years of use and exposure to the sun and rain, the clips can become brittle and lose their tightness. These clips are inexpensive and easy to replace. Click here to learn more: Golf Car Windshield Clips

Golf Car Windshield Hinge

The golf car windshield hinge eventually wears out as well. This has happened to us several times. This last time, I was afraid to fold down the windshield, because the hinge had become loose and decayed, and if I hit a big bump, I thought it might just come apart.

The rest of the windshield was fine and I didn't want to spend the money to get a new one. So I went to several of our local Club Car dealers, but none of them sold the hinge - only the whole windshield. Not to be easily discouraged, I went to our local hardware store and bought a long metal hinge and screwed it on over the broken hinge. It's been on for over a year and has worked great.
