Default Looking to replace windshield with vented one? How?

I have a 2019 EZGo Cart with folding windshield but would like to have a windshield with slide vents in lower part ? Can the original windshield be modified to have the vent in the bottom or do you have to buy a complete new windshield with vents and replace the original one. Any recommendation on where to get the windshield if that's the direction I need to go in or where to get the modification done?

Any other options for a easy open vent windshield?

The Villages Golf Carts possibly. They surely can order you one. Or just do internet search. Hundreds of cart dealers and part suppliers online.

They can replace your windshield. Save the old one just in case.

Villages Golf Carts butchered my cart and did a horrible job changing mine to a three piece. Looked like hell after they finished. After three trips where they screwed up something new half fixing there previous issue, have up and finished the job myself.

If you like to drive with your windshield down unless it’s raining like I do, I would recommend going with a non tinted option. Whenever I put the windshield up it’s not sunny so the tinting is worthless. Driving at night in the rain with a tinted windshield can make visibility much more difficult.

Try to get a windshield with the holes in the same location as the existing ones. There may be wires in the front posts for turn signals and this can be damaged if new holes are drilled.

Slide vents seam like a good idea but I saw one where the bracket holding the slid fell off. Saw a new Yamaha that had a short section all the way across the bottom that folded out. Should be more durable and provide more ventilation.
