Thanks for the heads up. I didn't see any photos on Carts & Clubs website that displayed the windshields clearly, but on their Facebook page they have three kinds of windshields and two fold down from the top, one version has the slots and the other pops out from the bottom. It appears a third version has slots but is one piece and doesn't fold down.
This version folds down or pops up from the bottom, but you apparently can't have both since the rubber bumpers for the windshield when folded down are on the pop out.
This version has the fold down and the slots
This is an inside view from the third version, slots on the bottom and a solid piece on the top.
They also offer the big cooler I bought from TV at LSL a couple of years ago. It was a $100 instead of $80 for the 12 pack, but it's worth it.
Here's a suggestion from someone driving a Yamaha golf cart for ten years in TV, don't settle for those little round mirrors that they offer as standard Villager ready. You want as much visibility as possible when driving in TV.
In TV I believe it's standard practice to install the big mirrors, so if you're buying from Carts & Clubs pay the little extra and get these big mirrors. However, I'm really surprised they're installing them so high above the windshield fold line. Mine came that way from TV and within the first week I almost had a head on collision on an MMP at Odell and Buena Vista there is a sharp turn. The mirror created a built in blind spot in the turn and the cart coming from the opposite direction was totally hidden behind the mirror. I immediately drove over to LSL and without question, lowered the mirrors for me for free, and told them what had happened, and I noticed ever since then in 2011 they have installed the mirrors with the top edge no higher than the windshield fold.
As you can see on my cart, the mirrors top edge is in line with the windshield fold. This way you have a clear view all the way around in a turn as you scan for other traffic.
I'll make one last suggestion, when buying the upgraded seats, get the version with the center armrest. It's just like a car, you don't notice the armrest until you don't have one. The way I drive, when making turns my left hand is on the steering wheel and having an armrest gives the right arm a place to anchor yourself. It's great, I can't imagine driving without one.
