Adding a windshield to your golf cart is essential for protecting any passengers from the weather, insects and other flying debris. But there are many options available for choosing the right windshield for your cart. To ensure a comfortable ride, check out our guide to golf cart windshields to help you make your choice.
Acrylic or polycarbonate
When you choose to add a windshield to your golf cart, the first question will be, what type of material do you want your windshield to be? The main options are acrylic or polycarbonate—or a blend of both.
While acrylic windshields are scratch-resistant, polycarbonate windshields are generally stronger and more durable. Polycarbonate is typically more expensive. By merging the two, you get the advantages of durability and scratch resistance at a reasonable price.
Clear or tinted
Next up on our guide to golf cart windshields is the topic of clear versus tinted windshields. While clear windshields are the most popular, tinted windshields do offer many attractive benefits.
By choosing a clear windshield for your cart, you will have better unobstructed visibility, allowing for a clear view of your terrain and surroundings without distortion.
On the other hand, the benefits of a tinted windshield include reducing sun glare and protecting against UV rays. A tinted windshield, for instance, can enhance your driving comfort, allowing you to drive more easily in sunny conditions.
Other factors to consider
Ask yourself these quick questions to consider other factors to help you make a decision:
- Would you prefer a permanent windshield or one that can be folded up and stored away?
- Do you drive your cart mainly during the day when you can benefit from a tinted windshield?
- Are you a sunglasses wearer? A clear windshield may be best.
