Abstract:
A mounting clip having two clip portions holds a windshield to a tube of a ROPS tube of an off-road vehicle. One of the clip portions includes an arm extending in a cantilevered fashion away from the windshield contact surface, curving partially around the tube but not encircling the tube. One of the clip portions includes deflectable tabs, extending through a windshield aperture and mating into recesses on the other clip portion, so the clip can be buckled by hand pressing the two clip portions together. The windshield and the arm pinch opposing sides of the tube, compressing a seal on the edge of the windshield.

Claim (Index 16):
An off-road vehicle, comprising:\n a roll cage defining a passenger compartment in the vehicle, the roll cage also defining at least a left side and a right side of a windshield receiving edge recess; a windshield positioned in the windshield receiving edge recess, the windshield having at least one aperture through the windshield adjacent an edge of the windshield received in the windshield receiving edge recess, the windshield having an inside face and an outside face; and at least one mounting clip mounting the windshield into the windshield receiving edge recess, the mounting clip comprising: a first clip portion having a first clip windshield contact surface for contact with one of the inside and outside faces of the windshield around the aperture, the first clip portion providing an arm extending in a cantilevered fashion away from the windshield contact surface; and a second clip portion having a second clip windshield contact surface for contact with the other of the inside and outside faces of the windshield around the aperture; the first clip portion and the second clip portion jointly comprising a male engagement mating into a female recess with the male engagement extending through the aperture in the windshield, and when the male engagement is engaged with the female recess the first clip windshield contact surface is generally parallel and spaced from the second clip windshield contact surface; wherein the arm biases off the roll cage pushing inward on the windshield, with the biasing force helping to secure the windshield in the windshield receiving edge recess.
