What if I don’t see my glass number listed?
Call Echo and we’ll help verify the correct windshield for your machine before you order.
Does this windshield also fit Hitachi excavators?
Yes. The same windshield design is used across a broad range of Hitachi ZAXIS ZX-5 and ZX-6 excavators. Confirm the OEM glass number before ordering.
Can I order just one windshield section?
Yes. Choose the Upper Windshield or Lower Windshield individually, or select the Upper + Lower Set to replace both sections together.
How do I confirm which windshield I need?
Check the OEM glass number on the existing windshield when possible. John Deere upper glass is #T396393 or #FYA00001495, while the lower is #T396635. Hitachi applications use upper glass #T396393 and lower glass #T396635 or #4651654.
What thicknesses are available?
Both upper and lower windshields are available in 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ clear polycarbonate.
Is a tinted windshield available?
Yes. Tint is available in 1/2″ polycarbonate with 50% light transmission.
Are the windshields curved?
Yes. Both the upper and lower windshield are curved to match the original glass.
Can I reuse the original mounting hardware?
Yes. SHIELDS machines the windshield to accommodate the original hardware across the available thicknesses.
Can I use the windshield wiper?
Yes. SUPERCOAT™ is designed to withstand normal windshield wiper use and routine cleaning.
Is the 1/2″ windshield forestry or ballistic rated?
No. Thickness alone does not establish a forestry or ballistic rating. Confirm the protection requirements for your machine and application before use.
Compatible Machines
Note: Verify the OEM glass number before ordering. Several John Deere and Hitachi excavators share this windshield design, but model name alone should not be used as the only fitment check. Don’t see your glass number? Call Echo and we’ll help verify the correct windshield.
