Abstract: A folding windshield assembly (1) for a vehicle, such as a golf cart (11), that folds against a roof (15) of the vehicle when not in use. The windshield assembly comprises a bottom panel (2) and a top panel (3). A top edge (4) of the bottom panel is attached to a bottom edge (5) of the top panel by a hinge (6). Bottom corners (7) on side edges (17) of the bottom panel are slideably and pivotally attached to tracks (8) and front posts (9) of a upper structure (10) of a vehicle. Top corners (12) on side edges (18) of the top panel are pivotally attached to the front vertical posts of the upper structure. Gas springs (13) are mounted to the top panel and the front posts to assist with folding the windshield assembly up and down.

Abstract: A cowling enclosure framework (2) having cowlings (6, 7 & 17) that may be mounted to an upper structure (3) of a vehicle, such as a golf cart (1). The cowlings provide protection from adverse weather and also provide an area for concealing the flaps of a flexible enclosure (8) of the enclosure and/or a cargo cover (9) while retracted and not in use. A user may simply roll or fold flaps and/or a cargo cover into the storage space created by the cowlings. An added benefit of the cowlings is that it they extend the area of the roof (4), thereby providing extra protection to occupants of the vehicle from the sun and rain.
