Description
DOT-Approved Clear Windshield for Yamaha G16
Prepare your Yamaha G16 for improved weather protection and street-use upgrades with the SGC MOAB DOT-Approved Clear Folding Windshield.
Designed specifically for the Yamaha G16, WSYM11 combines clear construction, a folding configuration, heavy-duty 4mm thickness, and Steelengโs stated 1234 AS-4 DOT approval.
It is the appropriate SGC option when DOT approval and clear forward visibility are more important than a tinted finish.
Manufacturer-Stated 1234 AS-4 DOT Approval
Steeleng identifies WSYM11 as a DOT-approved 1234 AS-4 windshield. This makes it the appropriate choice within the SGC G16 windshield lineup for customers whose local street-use requirements call for a manufacturer-designated DOT windshield.
The DOT approval applies to the windshield itself. It does not certify the entire golf cart qualifies as “Street Legal“.
Clear Forward Visibility
Unlike the tinted WSYM03 windshield, WSYM11 uses a clear finish.
Clear construction provides an unobstructed view through the windshield and may be preferred for:
- Evening or 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 prefer clarity over a tinted appearance
The clear finish coordinates easily with both factory and customized Yamaha G16 carts.
Folding Windshield Design
WSYM11 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.
Always stop the cart before raising or lowering the windshield and make sure the panel is properly secured before driving.
Yamaha G16 Compatibility
Fits
- Yamaha G16
- Standard factory-style windshield-support configurations
Steeleng lists WSYM11 fitment by model rather than publishing a specific model-year range or separate gas/electric restriction.
Confirm that the cart is a Yamaha G16 and inspect its windshield-support configuration before ordering.
Does Not Fit
- Yamaha G14
- Yamaha G19
- Yamaha G22
- Yamaha G29 Drive
- Yamaha Drive2
- EZGO models
- Club Car models
- Carts with incompatible or substantially modified windshield supports
Do not assume that WSYM11 fits a G14 or G19 because the tinted WSYM03 windshield covers multiple Yamaha models.
Confirm the Yamaha Model Before Ordering
Several Yamaha golf cart generations have similar appearances but use different windshield dimensions and mounting configurations.
Before ordering:
- Confirm that the cart is a Yamaha G16
- Do not identify the cart by appearance alone
- Check its serial-number information when necessary
- Inspect the roof and front windshield supports
- Confirm that the supports have not been replaced or modified
- Compare the listed windshield dimensions when fitment is uncertain
WSYM11 is a G16-specific application. Choose the corresponding model-specific windshield for any other Yamaha cart.
Which Yamaha G16 Windshield Should You Choose?
WSYM03 โ Standard Tinted Folding Windshield
Choose WSYM03 if you want a tinted folding windshield for a compatible Yamaha G14, G16, or G19 within its listed 1995-2003 application range.
WSYM11 โ MOAB DOT-Approved Clear Windshield
Choose WSYM11 when the cart is specifically a Yamaha G16 and clear construction with Steelengโs stated 1234 AS-4 DOT approval is required.
The two options differ in finish and DOT status. Confirm the exact cart model before choosing between them.
Street-Legal Considerations
WSYM11 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, a Yamaha G16 may also need:
- Headlights and taillights
- Turn signals
- Brake lights
- Horn
- Driver and passenger mirrors
- Seat belts
- Reflectors
- License-plate bracket and light
- DOT-approved tires
- Vehicle identification or documentation
- Registration
- Inspection
- Insurance
- Additional locally required equipment
⚠️ Installing individual safety components does not automatically make a golf cart street legal.
Always check the requirements for the exact state, county, city, community, or property where the cart will be operated.
Add front and rear lighting with the compatible Yamaha G14, G16, G19 and G22 12-Volt LED Light Kit โ SGC LIYM02. Additional signaling and safety equipment may be required for street operation.
