Default Does anyone have a clear, folding, vented Yamaha windshield.

I have been searching long and hard for a replacement windshield for our 2014 Yamaha EFI. I specifically want a clear (not tinted) folding windshield with the sliding vents on the bottom panel. I can easily find the vented folding windshield in the tinted version, but for the life of me I can’t find a clear one. If anyone has one, I’d appreciate learning where you were able to purchase it.

Have you tried online, I know of at least 10 online golf cart sites that sell lots of accessories, and probably Amazon.

When I ordered my 2023 cart a clear vented version was not available, only tinted. I would much rather have a clear windshield also.

Yes, I have checked extensively online. Lots of different options for both clear and tinted folding windshields, but I can only find the vented ones tinted.

Now that is interesting, I will be looking to change our tinted vented windshield soon, so I guess I will be in the same situation. I will let you know if I find a source.

Please let us all know, because I have recently been in discussions with The Villages Golf Cars & they only sell the tinted.

I found one just like your asking for except it's tinted so I called the company and asked if they did it in clear. After some asking around they said they didn't do it in clear and they didn't know of anyone that does. Sorry I thought I was going to get you a lead. Red dot golf cart accessories .

Thanks for trying, I keep running into the same thing. Why multiple manufacturers only make vented windshields with the tinted option is beyond me? Oh well, I’d rather have a clear non vented than a tinted vented windshield. Tinting really cuts down on night visibility and it is very difficult to look through the bottom half of a tinted windshield when it’s flipped down (looking through two tinted panels). To me tinting is worthless anyway. When it sunny out I have the windshield flipped down and am wearing sunglasses. The only time I flip the windshield up is when it’s raining, so no tinting necessary.

I only use tinted windshields especially in the Florida sun. Most adults should be looking out of the top half not the bottom half, and if you are looking thru the bottom half, I would not be looking at the vented windshield because those vents would really obscure your view.

We got ours from Villages golf carts at LSL - we had to replace the original one on our 2016 Yamaha as it was cracked.

Ours on our 2014 Yamaha cracked just last Spring and I bought one on Amazon. I do think it was mildly tinted but they had others. I’d suggest you take a look. They might have a clear one.
