Abstract
The present invention provides a system for mounting a windshield onto small vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles or other similar vehicles. The mounting system generally comprises a pair of receiving elements, each of them being adapted to be mounted to the vehicle and comprising a receiving cavity. The mounting system also comprises a windshield support frame which is adapted to support a windshield panel and which also comprises a pair of mounting elements or protuberances receivable in the receiving cavities of the receiving elements. Once the mounting elements are received in the receiving cavities, the frame is fixedly retained on the receiving elements by a pair of locking mechanisms. By a simple actuation of the locking means, the windshield panel and its support frame can easily be installed or removed from the vehicle.
