Have you ever thought of getting a windshield for your golf cart? On a rainy day, you could avoid being in the direction of the rain, and if it is windy, you could get by without the wind hitting your face. Just like any other golf cart part, you will need to know specifics about your cart prior to purchasing windshields. Generally, there are three types of golf cart windshields. The first type is the typical one piece, like you see in all motor vehicles. The second type of golf cart windshield is the one where it gets fitted with a hinge. The last type of windshield is the roll up.
Before Buying a Golf Cart Windshield
Prior to your purchase, you need to know the year your golf cart was made in. For an eighteen year period, all golf carts were the same in terms of sizing and structure. If your club cart was made anytime between 1982 and 2000, there is only one model of golf cart windshields available. After the year 2000, golf carts were made differently, so there is a change of windshield models. The most popular type of golf cart windshield is the hinged fold down. This type of windshield is great, because you can easily unlock the top half and fold it right down, to provide an open a breeze. You have the option to customize the hinged windshield. You could have it tinted, which really enhances the overall look of your golf cart.
Do you have a Yamaha golf cart? These windshields are different than those of the club car. If you want to purchase a Yamaha golf cart windshield, you would have to deal directly with them. Most of their parts can be purchased right off their online site. Before ordering your windshield, take note of your cart’s model and year. Yamaha makes two types of windshields; clear and tinted. The same rule applies for those looking into EZGO golf cart windshields. You will need the official year and model of the cart. For EZGO, you only have two options. You could choose the fold up windshield or the split windshield.
Maintaining Your Windshield
Golf cart windshields are not made of glass like the other windshields. These windshields are produced with polycarbonate, so the cleaning process is a bit different. Don’t use special glass cleaning liquids, because it may ruin the effectiveness of the windshield. The best way to clean is with water and soap. Keep the contents of the soap to minimum. To clean, use a soft towel. It should be a cotton based towel and not paper towels. If you use glass cleaning substances, your golf cart windshield will eventually become foggy.
