Shields Windshields Excavator Windshield Overview

From the 312E and 320E to the 336F, 349F, 352FVG, 374FL and 390FL, CAT E and F Series excavators use flat front upper glass 453-4794 and lower glass 316-8854. SHIELDS makes both windows in 1/2 inch polycarbonate, cuts them flat like the originals, duplicates the mounting holes and mills the edges so your hardware carries over, then coats both sides with SUPERCOAT. Buy the upper or the lower on its own, in clear or tint, and match the glass numbers on your cab as well as the model number.

SHIELDS 1/2 inch polycarbonate windows replace the flat front upper and lower glass on CAT E and F Series excavators. Both are flat like the original glass and coated on both sides with SHIELDS' SUPERCOAT hard coat. Each window is sold on its own in clear or tint.

SHIELDS CAT E and F Series Excavator Windshield Features: Excavator Front Glass Replacement, Upper and Lower

  • 1/2 inch formed polycarbonate, which SHIELDS rates at more than 260 times the strength of glass at half the weight
  • SUPERCOAT hard coat on both sides resists abrasion, so you can keep using your wiper
  • Upper replaces glass 453-4794; lower replaces 316-8854
  • Flat upper and lower, formed to the shape of the original glass
  • Drop-in replacement: mounting holes duplicated and edges milled so the original hardware carries over
  • Tint is built into the material, not a film; SHIELDS advises against adding aftermarket tint film because the coating will not hold adhesives
