The windshield includes a right-side bulging portion disposed at a right-side lower portion, a left-side bulging portion disposed at a left-side lower portion, and at least one protrusion disposed at an upper edge. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A windshield for attachment to a vehicle having a passenger compartment, the windshield comprising: a first plane extending from a right-side edge to a left-side edge and a second plane parallel to the first plane and extending through the passenger compartment; a right-side bulging portion extending away from the second plane and disposed at a right-side lower portion; a left-side bulging portion extending away from the second plane and disposed at a left-side lower portion; and at least one protrusion extending away from the second plane and disposed at an upper edge. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The windshield of claim 1, wherein the at least one protrusion includes a right-side protrusion disposed at a right side of the upper edge. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The windshield of claim 2, wherein the at least one protrusion includes a left-side protrusion disposed at a left side of the upper edge. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The windshield of claim 3, wherein the at least one protrusion includes a central protrusion disposed between the right-side protrusion and the left-side protrusion at a central portion of the upper edge. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The windshield of claim 1, wherein the right-side bulging portion includes an upper-right surface angled from a lower-central portion to a right side of the upper edge. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The windshield of claim 1, wherein the left-side bulging portion includes an upper-left surface angled from a lower-central portion to a left side of the upper edge. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The windshield of claim 1, further comprising: at least one right-side attachment portion disposed at a right-side edge and configured to attach the windshield to the vehicle; and at least one left-side attachment portion disposed at a left-side edge and configured to attach the windshield to the vehicle. ### Claim 8 A windshield for attachment to a vehicle having a front end and a rear end, the windshield comprising: a line of symmetry defining a right side and a left side; a right-side depression extending toward the rear end and from a lower portion of the line of symmetry to a right side of an upper edge; and a left-side depression extending toward the rear end and from the lower portion of the line of symmetry to a left side of the upper edge. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The windshield of claim 8, further comprising: a right-side protrusion extending toward the front end and disposed at the upper edge; a left-side protrusion extending toward the front end and disposed at the upper edge. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The windshield of claim 9, further comprising: a right-side bulging portion extending toward the front end and disposed at a right-side lower portion, wherein the right-side depression is disposed between the right-side protrusion and the right-side bulging portion; and a left-side bulging portion extending toward the front end and disposed at a left-side lower portion, wherein the left-side depression is disposed between the left-side protrusion and the left-side bulging portion. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The windshield of claim 8, further comprising a central protrusion extending toward the front end and disposed at the upper edge and on the line of symmetry. ### Claim 12 A vehicle having a passenger compartment, the vehicle comprising: a windshield comprising: a first plane extending from a right-side edge to a left-side edge and a second plane parallel to the first plane and extending through the passenger compartment; a right-side depression extending toward the second plane and from a lower-central portion to a right side of an upper edge; and a left-side depression extending toward the second plane and from the lower-central portion to a left side of the upper edge; and at least one fastener disposed at at least one edge of the windshield and configured to attach the windshield to the vehicle. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The vehicle of claim 12, wherein the at least one fastener comprises: at least one right side fastener disposed at a right-side edge of the windshield and configured to attach the windshield to the vehicle; and at least one left side fastener disposed at a left-side edge of the windshield and configured to attach the windshield to the vehicle. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The vehicle of claim 12, wherein the windshield further comprises a right-side protrusion extending away from the second plane and disposed at the upper edge. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The windshield of claim 14, wherein the windshield further comprises a left-side protrusion extending away from the second plane and disposed at the upper edge. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The windshield of claim 15, wherein the windshield further comprises a right-side bulging portion extending away from the second plane and disposed at a right-side lower portion, wherein the right-side depression is disposed between the right-side protrusion and the right-side bulging portion. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The windshield of claim 16, wherein the windshield further comprises a left-side bulging portion extending away from the second plane and disposed at a left-side lower portion, wherein the left-side depression is disposed between the left-side protrusion and the left-side bulging portion. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The windshield of claim 15, wherein the windshield further comprises a central protrusion extending away from the second plane and disposed at the upper edge between the right-side protrusion and the left-side protrusion.
