Abstract
A set of panel assemblies for enclosing the overhead guard of a vehicle such as a skid steer comprising a windshield/door assembly and side window assemblies. The windshield/door assembly includes a door jamb that is clamped over the front corner posts of the overhead guard and a windshield/door unit hinged on the jamb. The windshield/door unit seals against a generally planar front face of the jamb. The side window assemblies comprise transparent rigid plastic sheets adapted to be attached to the side grille of the overhead guard in a simplified manner and without occupying excessive space in the clearance area between the overhead guard and operating elements such as the lift arms of a bucket.
