EZGO TXT Valor Windshield Installation Guide

Quick Answer

This guide walks you through installing the DoubleTake Clear AS4 DOT Windshield on your 2014+ EZGO TXT Valor. The key is careful alignment of the two-part folding design and the magnetic-catch system to avoid cracking the acrylic.

Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Cart and Parts: Park the cart on a level surface and remove any existing windshield. Lay out the DoubleTake windshield, the four plastic sleeve attachments, the magnetic-catch assembly, and the rubber grips. Check that all parts are present. Common mistake: Forgetting to remove old mounting brackets or hardware that can interfere with the new sleeves.
2. Attach the Plastic Sleeves to the Windshield: Slide the four plastic sleeves onto the edges of the windshield—two on the bottom and two on the top section. Ensure they are oriented so the mounting holes face outward toward the cart’s frame. Checkpoint: The sleeves should fit snugly but not be forced. If they are too tight, lightly sand the edges with fine-grit sandpaper to avoid cracking.
3. Position the Windshield on the Cart: Place the windshield assembly onto the front of the cart, aligning the sleeves with the existing mounting points on the roof support or struts. Insert the provided bolts or screws through the sleeves and into the cart’s frame, but do not fully tighten yet. Common mistake: Tightening bolts too early can cause the windshield to bind or crack when you adjust the alignment later.
4. Install the Magnetic-Catch Assembly: Attach the magnetic-catch bracket to the top of the windshield’s lower section using the supplied screws. Then attach the corresponding magnet to the inside of the top section. Close the windshield to test engagement—the magnets should pull together firmly. Checkpoint: If the magnets do not align, loosen the bracket screws and slide the bracket left or right until the magnets click together cleanly.
5. Secure the Rubber Grips and Final Tighten: Place the rubber grips over the sleeve bolts to prevent scratching and provide a snug fit. Now tighten all bolts evenly in a cross pattern. Open and close the windshield several times to verify smooth operation and that the magnetic catch holds in both positions. Final check: Inspect for any gaps between the windshield and the cart frame. If gaps exist, loosen the bolts, adjust the position, and retighten.
