Thicknesses: 1/4" | 3/8" | 1/2" (Clear and Tint where available)
Warranty: 10 years — breakage, coating failure, excessive haze, excessive yellowing

✅ Exact OEM replacement at every thickness — including 3/8" and 1/2"

Every thickness is cut to exact OEM dimensions and drops into the factory opening. The perimeter is edge-milled to OEM glass thickness so the panel seats in the factory gasket and frame. The latch area is counter-milled so the original latch engages and secures normally. Original latch, frame, and mounting hardware are reused — no drilling, shimming, or trimming; no hardware kit required.

Same impact-grade polycarbonate used in check-cashing and teller windows

260× stronger than glass at half the weight. Post-coated with SHIELDS® proprietary SUPERCOAT™ — a silicone hard coating applied after forming, abrasion-resistant to steel wool. Wiper-safe. Inspect wipers before use and clear debris from the frame seal. 10-year coverage against breakage, coating failure, hazing, and yellowing.

📋 Overview

A broken door stops the machine, exposes the operator, and typically means days waiting for a dealer part. The SHIELDS® SUPERCOATED™ Polycarbonate Door for John Deere Wheel Loader drops into the factory opening at every thickness — edge-milled at the perimeter and counter-milled at the latch — so it fits exactly as the OEM glass did. No modifications, no extra hardware. Year-round benefit beyond impact protection: polycarbonate reduces summer heat gain and winter heat loss, keeping operators more comfortable in all seasons, not just during forestry work.

✅ Why Choose SHIELDS® Over OEM Glass

  • Stop paying downtime cost for broken glass — 260× stronger polycarbonate breaks far less frequently on the job.
  • Exact OEM fit at every thickness — edge-milled perimeter, counter-milled latch area, original hardware reused. No extra parts or modifications.
  • SUPERCOAT™ wiper-safe hard coating — post-applied after forming for maximum adhesion. Abrasion-resistant to steel wool. UV-stable against yellowing and hazing.
  • Year-round operator comfort — reduced summer heat gain, reduced winter heat loss.
  • 10-year warranty — breakage, coating failure, hazing, yellowing (manufacturing defects).
  • Half the weight of glass — easier installation, less hinge stress over time.
  • eSkidSteer replaces freight-damaged items — inspect within 7 days, photograph damage, we handle the rest.
🔧 Gasket Inspection

OEM gaskets are frequently damaged when the original glass breaks. Before installing, inspect the cab frame gasket — replace if torn, hardened, or deformed. A properly seated gasket is essential for weather sealing regardless of door material.

📦 Freight Damage — What to Do

eSkidSteer replaces items damaged in transit. Your obligation: inspect within 7 days of delivery and photograph any damage before filing a claim.

  • Open the box immediately — freight damage to a flat polycarbonate panel is often invisible until unpacked. Do not sign a clean Bill of Lading without opening the box first.
  • Inspect within 7 days of delivery. Damage reported after 7 days cannot be submitted.
  • Photograph all damage — photos of the packaging and the panel are required to process the carrier claim.
  • Contact eskidsteer.com at (866) 757-8337 with photos and we will arrange replacement.

⚠️ You must open the box before signing the delivery receipt. A clean signature = accepted delivery. Note any visible damage on the carrier receipt before signing.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will a thicker polycarbonate door still fit my OEM frame and latch?

A: Yes. Every thickness — including 3/8" and 1/2" — is cut to exact OEM dimensions and drops into the factory opening. The perimeter is edge-milled to OEM glass thickness so the panel seats in the factory gasket and frame. The latch area is counter-milled so the original latch engages and secures normally. No accommodation is required for the added thickness.

Q: Does the 1/2" panel fit the same as the original glass?

A: Yes. The 1/2" panel is edge-milled to OEM glass thickness at the perimeter and counter-milled at the latch. It drops into the same factory frame, seats in the same gaskets, and is secured with the same hardware. No extra hardware, shimming, or drilling required.

Q: Can I still use my windshield wipers?

A: Yes. SUPERCOAT™ is wiper-compatible. Inspect your wiper blade before use and clear any rocks, sticks, or debris from the frame seal. Trapped debris scratches any surface — this is standard wiper maintenance, not a SHIELDS® limitation.

Q: What does the 10-year warranty cover?

A: Manufacturing defects: breakage, coating failure, excessive haze, and excessive yellowing — up to 10 years from date of sale. Does not cover scratching from normal use, impact damage from operation, or improper installation.

Q: Should I inspect or replace my gaskets?

A: Inspect them before installing. OEM gaskets are frequently damaged when the original glass breaks. Replace any gasket that is torn, hardened, or deformed before installing the new panel.

Q: What is SUPERCOAT™ and why does it matter?

A: SUPERCOAT™ is a proprietary silicone hard coating applied post-forming — not co-extruded into the material. Post-application gives higher adhesion and abrasion resistance. It is abrasion-resistant to steel wool and UV-stable. Cheap uncoated polycarbonate yellows and hazes within months outdoors; SUPERCOAT™ is designed to maintain clarity for the full warranty term.

Q: Shipping?

A: Shipping is calculated at checkout — simply add the item to your cart, enter your delivery address, and the shipping charge will be displayed before you complete your order.

Q: How do I order?

A: Add the item to your cart directly on eskidsteer.com and complete checkout online. If you have a fitment question before purchasing, call us at (866) 757-8337.
