Description
DOT-Approved Clear Windshield for Evolution D5
Prepare your Evolution D5 for clearer forward visibility, improved wind protection, and street-oriented upgrades with the SGC MOAB DOT-Approved Clear Folding Windshield.
Designed specifically for the Evolution D5, WSEV11 combines clear construction, a folding configuration, heavy-duty 4mm thickness, and Steelengโs stated DOT approval.
It is the appropriate SGC option for D5 owners who want a clear, DOT-approved windshield rather than the tinted and vented configuration of WSEV10.
Manufacturer-Stated DOT Approval
Steeleng identifies WSEV11 as DOT approved.
This makes it the appropriate choice within the SGC Evolution D5 windshield lineup for customers whose local street-use requirements call for a manufacturer-designated DOT windshield.
A specific AS designation is not stated in the provided Steeleng dealer information and should not be assumed.
The DOT approval applies to the windshield itself. It does not certify the entire golf cart for operation on public roads.
Clear Forward Visibility
Unlike the tinted WSEV10 windshield, WSEV11 uses a clear finish.
Clear construction provides an unobstructed view through the windshield and may be preferred for:
- Evening and nighttime operation
- Early-morning driving
- Cloudy or low-light conditions
- Neighborhood transportation
- Commercial or property use
- Carts being prepared for permitted street operation
- Drivers who prioritize clarity over a tinted appearance
The clear finish coordinates easily with both factory and customized Evolution D5 carts.
Folding Windshield Design
WSEV11 uses a folding configuration that allows the upper section to be lowered when additional airflow is desired.
Keep the windshield raised when you want additional coverage from:
- Wind
- Dust
- Insects
- Light road debris
- Cool seasonal air
- Changing weather conditions
Fold the upper section down when you want a more open-air driving experience.
WSEV11 does not include integrated airflow vents. Airflow is increased by lowering the upper windshield section.
Always stop the cart before raising or lowering the windshield and make sure the panel is properly secured before driving.
Heavy-Duty 4mm Construction
SGC manufactures WSEV11 at a 4mm thickness, which Steeleng describes as thicker than the industry standard.
The added thickness gives the windshield a more substantial construction for everyday golf cart use while retaining the flexibility of a folding design.
Evolution D5 Compatibility
Fits
- Evolution D5 golf carts
- Standard Evolution D5 windshield mounting configurations
Steeleng lists WSEV11 specifically for the Evolution D5. The dealer information does not publish a model-year range or separately identify individual D5 body or seating configurations.
Does Not Fit Unless Independently Confirmed
- Evolution Classic models
- Evolution Carrier models
- Evolution Turfman models
- Evolution Forester models
- Evolution Revolution models
- Club Car models
- EZGO models
- Yamaha models
- Other Evolution platforms not identified as D5
- Carts with incompatible or substantially modified windshield supports
Do not select this windshield based only on the Evolution brand name. Confirm that the cart is specifically an Evolution D5 before ordering.
Confirm the Evolution Model Before Ordering
Evolution offers several vehicle families with different windshield sizes and mounting arrangements.
Before ordering:
- Confirm that the cart is an Evolution D5
- Check the cartโs model-identification information
- Inspect the front roof supports and windshield mounting area
- Look for aftermarket or modified support assemblies
- Compare the existing windshield configuration when replacing a factory unit
- Verify that the cart has not been converted to a different roof or support system
- Compare the listed windshield dimensions if fitment remains uncertain

Which Evolution D5 Windshield Should You Choose?
WSEV10 โ MOAB Vented Tinted Windshield
Choose WSEV10 if you want:
- A tinted appearance
- Left and right airflow vents
- A folding configuration
- Adjustable ventilation with the windshield raised
- Heavy-duty 4mm construction
WSEV10 is not identified by Steeleng as DOT approved.
WSEV11 โ MOAB DOT-Approved Clear Windshield
Choose WSEV11 if you want:
- Clear forward visibility
- Manufacturer-stated DOT approval
- A folding windshield
- Better visibility during evening or low-light operation
- A windshield intended to complement a street-oriented D5 build
WSEV11 does not include integrated airflow vents. Additional airflow is available by folding down the upper windshield section.
Street-Legal Considerations
WSEV11 is identified by Steeleng as DOT approved, but a compliant windshield is only one potential requirement for street operation.
Depending on state and local regulations, an Evolution D5 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
- Slow-moving vehicle emblem
- Vehicle identification or documentation
- Registration
- Inspection
- Insurance
- Other locally required equipment
Installing individual safety components does not automatically make an Evolution D5 street legal.
Always check the requirements for the exact state, county, city, community, or property where the vehicle will be operated.
