Polycarbonate Windshield Replacement for Caterpillar C / D Series Skid Steers

Upgrade your CAT skid steer with a high-performance polycarbonate door designed to fit a wide range of C & D Series models, including 216D, 232D, 236D, 242D, 246D, 257D, 259D, 262D, 272D, 279D, 289D, 299D, 272C, 246C, 256C, 262C, 262C2, 272D, 277C, 277C2, 279C, 279C2, 287C, 287C2, 289C, 289C2, 297C, 299C and many more (see full compatibility list below). This replacement windshield is a direct swap for your OEM factory glass or existing polycarbonate door and is engineered for operators who demand maximum durability, clarity, and comfort in the cab.

Manufactured from optical-grade Lexan/polycarbonate, this windshield is up to 250 times stronger than glass and half the weight, reducing stress on hinges while dramatically improving resistance to flying debris, impacts, and tough job site conditions. Each panel is precision-milled around the edges to align seamlessly with OEM mounting holes, allowing reuse of your original handles, wiper motor, and weather seals without modification.

To ensure long-lasting performance, both sides are coated with an abrasion-resistant finish to protect against scratches, yellowing, and hazing. Whether you’re working in forestry, demolition, construction, or snow removal, this door provides superior protection while maintaining crystal-clear visibility.

The enhanced design also improves cab insulation, helping to retain warmth in winter, block excess heat in summer, and reduce noise for a quieter, more comfortable operating experience.

Available in clear or 50% tinted polycarbonate, this replacement door gives operators flexibility for different lighting and visibility needs.

Replaces OEM Glass CAT D Series#345-6230 or CAT C Series #258-4071

Warranty

If the windshield/window (i) breaks, (ii) incurs coating failure, (iii) exhibits excessive increased haze, or (iv) exhibits excessive yellowing or loss of light transmission—each within ten (10) years from the date of sale due to manufacturing defect and subject to the definitions and conditions set forth herein—the purchaser will receive a free replacement windshield/window, provided the failed windshield/window, original sales receipt, and this warranty are returned to the original dealer. If a replacement windshield/window cannot be provided within fourteen (14) days, the manufacturer may opt to refund the original windshield/window purchase price.

CONDITIONS

This warranty applies only when the windshield/window is used in flat vertical architectural glazing, excluding transportation, outdoor recreational, and off-road vehicle applications. The product must be cleaned according to recommended guidelines (see reverse side for cleaning instructions). This warranty does not cover (re)installation expenses or any other direct or indirect loss(es) resulting from windshield/window failure.

Breakage: The warranty against breakage applies only to a windshield/window fabricated, installed, and cleaned according to recommendations. The windshield/window is substantially stronger than acrylic and resists impact, abuse, and vandalism. However, no material can be described as unbreakable, as all use cases cannot be accounted for.

Coating Failure: The warranty covers coating failure when the abrasion-resistant surface treatment visibly flakes or loses adhesion to the substrate sheet, detectable without instruments.

Abrasion Resistance: The windshield/window will not exhibit an increase in haze of more than 15%.
Test Criteria: The sample as manufactured shall be abraded per ANSI Z26.1 (Taber Abrader, Test No. 17) for 100 cycles with a 500g load.

Yellowing and Light Transmission: This applies only to clear, transparent windshield/windows.

The Yellowness Index (YI) shall be less than 5.0 within five years and less than 10 within ten years from sale date, per ASTM D1925 (1977), as measured with a Gardner Colorimeter.
Light transmission loss shall not exceed 5% within five years and 7% within ten years, per ASTM D1003 testing protocols.
This warranty does not cover yellowing or light transmission losses due to dirt, atmospheric deposits, abrasion, or physical changes unrelated to material degradation. Regular cleaning reduces, but does not prevent, this effect.

This warranty does not apply to hazing caused by physical abuse or improper cleaning methods.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The warranties stated herein are the only warranties provided and are in lieu of all other warranties—written or oral, statutory, expressed or implied—including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

The manufacturer shall not be liable for special, consequential, or incidental damages arising from use or application of the windshield/window, whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort, or other legal theory. Liability shall not exceed the original purchase price of the product.

The remedies described are the purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies.

Fast shipping, perfect fit.

Thank you for the great review! We’re glad your order arrived quickly and fit perfectly. We appreciate your business!

Tinted Polycarbonate windshield was well packaged, no damage during shipping. Easy to install with the double sided tape - no mess. I just clamped wood blocks to the outside edge of the metal frame and used them to guide the windshield onto the frame since with the double sided tape you get 1 chance to set it on the frame straight. Tape held with no issues and couple months later still no issue. The tint is perfect, not too dark and dark enough that I don't need to wear sunglasses in bright sunlight - love that! The 4-star rating is for the clarity of the polycarbonate, when looking at the ground things look wavy/ripply. When trying to smooth dirt by dragging a smooth bucket looking out at the ground does the dirt does not look flat, looks like I have rows/waves of dirt and it took a bit to figure out the ground was smooth just the windshield distorts the view some. BUT looking straight out like when brush cutting, never notice any issues with clarity, it's only when looking at the ground. Windshield has been rubbed by tree limbs and sticker bushes, no damage that I can see. Haven't taken a heavy heavy hits yet - trying to avoid that - so I can't speak to how it does with that scenario, but I feel much better having this windshield in place when mulching than the factory glass windshield. I do recommend this one!

Thanks for taking the time to write this out. This is exactly the kind of feedback that helps others make an informed decision. We are glad to hear everything showed up in good shape and install went smoothly. You handled the tape install the right way. Once it touches, it’s set, so using guides like that is a smart approach. We appreciate you calling out the clarity on the lower viewing angle as well. That kind of detail is helpful and we take that feedback seriously. More importantly, it’s good to hear it’s holding up in real use with brush and debris. That’s where these really earn their keep compared to factory glass. Thanks again for the recommendation.

Fast shipping, perfect fit!

Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate your business :)
