Description
DOT-Approved Clear Windshield for 2000.5-Up Club Car DS
Add clear coverage and folding convenience to your newer-style Club Car DS with the SGC MOAB DOT-Approved Clear Windshield.
Designed for 2000.5-up Club Car DS gas and electric golf carts, WSDS12 features clear 4mm construction, a two-piece folding configuration, and the manufacturer-stated 1234 AS-4 DOT approval marking.
It is a strong choice for customers who prefer a clear windshield or need a DOT-approved windshield as part of a properly equipped street-use build.
Manufacturer-Stated DOT Approval
Steeleng identifies WSDS12 as:
DOT Approved (1234 AS-4)
This distinguishes WSDS12 from the standard tinted WSDS02 and vented tinted WSDS10 windshields, neither of which Steeleng identifies as DOT approved.
The DOT marking applies to the windshieldโnot to the golf cart as a complete vehicle. Road-use legality depends on the cart, its other equipment, and applicable state and local laws.
Clear Windshield Design
The clear finish provides an unobstructed appearance without the darkened tint used on SGCโs other Club Car DS windshield options.
A clear windshield may be preferable for:
- Low-light driving
- Evening use
- Street-use builds
- Customers who do not want a tinted front panel
- Factory-style cart builds
- Areas where clear windshield material is required
Two-Piece Folding Configuration
WSDS12 uses a two-piece folding design that allows the upper section to be lowered when you want increased airflow.
Keep the windshield raised when you want additional coverage during:
- Cool morning drives
- Windy conditions
- Neighborhood transportation
- Trail use
- Seasonal weather
- Everyday driving
Fold the upper section down when you want a more open-air driving experience.

WSDS12 fits the newer-style Club Car DS beginning with 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.

Which 2000.5-Up Club Car DS Windshield Should You Choose?
WSDS02 โ Standard Tinted Folding Windshield
Choose WSDS02 if you want a straightforward tinted folding windshield at the most economical price point.
WSDS10 โ MOAB Vented Tinted Windshield
Choose WSDS10 if you want a tinted folding windshield with dedicated left and right airflow vents.
WSDS12 โ MOAB DOT-Approved Clear Windshield
Choose WSDS12 if you want clear construction and Steelengโs stated DOT approval.
All three options use the 2000.5-up Club Car DS windshield configuration. Select according to your preferred appearance, airflow features, and compliance needs.
Street-Legal Considerations
WSDS12 can serve as the windshield component of a properly equipped street-use Club Car DS, but a DOT-approved windshield alone does not make the cart street legal.
Depending on state and local requirements, a street-use golf cart may also require:
- Headlights and taillights
- Turn signals
- Brake lights
- Horn
- Driver and passenger mirrors
- Seat belts
- Reflectors
- License-plate bracket and lighting
- DOT-approved tires
- Vehicle registration or inspection
- Other locally required equipment
Complete your lighting and signaling setup with a compatible Club Car DS Deluxe LED Light Kit Bundle.
Always confirm current state and local requirements before operating a golf cart on public roads.
