Types and Styles

Windshields can be made from acrylic glass, polycarbonate material, or a blend of both. Acrylic material is not as durable and easier to break, but is more scratch resistant. Polycarbonate is a stronger material that is impact resistant and more durable, but less scratch resistant. Lexan windshields are a polycarbonate windshield without an acrylic component.

Windshield Frame

Some golf cart tops have front support legs and some do not. You cannot attach a windshield if you do not have any front support legs (or posts or struts or whatever you want to call them). Many older golf cart Yamaha-G1-windshield tops do not have front legs at all. They are supported by the rear legs only. This is true on early Harley’s, some Melex’s & E-Z-GO’s, and especially on Yamaha G-1’s. If you don’t have front support legs, don’t order a windshield!!
