Description
Club Car DS Tinted Folding Windshield for 1982-2000.5 Models
Add protection, flexibility, and a more finished appearance to your early-style Club Car DS with the SGC Tinted Folding Windshield.
Designed specifically for 1982 through 2000.5 Club Car DS gas and electric golf carts, this two-piece windshield helps shield the driver and passengers from wind, dust, insects, and light road debris.
When you want more airflow, the upper section folds down instead of requiring you to remove the entire windshield.
Folding Design for Changing Weather
A fixed windshield can feel restrictive when the temperature rises. The folding design of this SGC windshield gives you more flexibility throughout the year.
Keep the windshield raised when you want additional coverage during:
- Cool morning drives
- Windy conditions
- Neighborhood travel
- Trail use
- Seasonal weather
- Everyday transportation
Fold the upper panel down when you want increased airflow through the passenger compartment.
This makes the windshield a practical upgrade for carts used across changing weather conditions.
Tinted Appearance
The tinted finish gives your Club Car DS a clean, upgraded appearance while helping soften harsh brightness through the front of the cart.
The tint works especially well with other exterior upgrades such as:
- Black roofs and roof supports
- Rear seat kits
- Lift kits
- Custom wheels and tires
- LED light kits
- Mirrors and other black accessories
Heavy-Duty 4mm Construction
SGC manufactures this windshield at a 4mm thickness, which Steeleng describes as thicker than the industry standard.
The added thickness helps provide a more substantial windshield for everyday golf cart use while maintaining the convenience of a two-piece folding design.
Confirm Your Club Car DS Year Before Ordering
This windshield fits the early-style Club Car DS manufactured from 1982 through the 2000.5 model-year transition.
Club Car changed the DS windshield configuration during the 2000 model year. If your cart is a 2000 model or is near the midyear transition, confirm its manufacturing date and body style before ordering.

Street-Legal and DOT Considerations
Customers building a cart for street use should consider the Club Car DS MOAB DOT-Approved Clear Folding Windshield for 1982-2000.5 โ SGC WSDS11.
A DOT-approved windshield is only one possible component of a street-use build. Depending on local regulations, additional equipment may include:
- Headlights and taillights
- Turn signals
- Brake lights
- Horn
- Driver and passenger mirrors
- Seat belts
- Reflectors
- License-plate lighting
- DOT-approved tires
Adding individual safety components does not automatically make a golf cart street legal. Always check state and local requirements before operating a golf cart on public roads.
Complete your lighting and signaling setup with a compatible Club Car DS Deluxe LED Light Kit Bundle.
