    Ford Shows a Wild, Massive Mustang Windshield in Patent Drawings

    It looks like replacing your next-generation Ford’s windshield might set you back a pretty penny. That is, if Ford brings the windshield shown in its recent patent filings into production. The new patent, shown on a Ford Mustang, describes what Ford calls a “vehicle roof bow” that separates the windshield and the rear glass panel. You might think: That’s just called a top. And, you’d be technically correct, but the top has shrunk dramatically because of the expansive windshield.The new windshield looks similar to Tesla’s windshield on the Model X, save for the added structure of the roof bow. Essentially this windshield design eliminates the need for a panoramic sunroof because it’s baked into the windshield.
    It’s hard to say what vehicle this new windshield design would launch with, but considering the patent drawings clearly show a Mustang, the next-gen Mustang might be a good candidate. We hope Ford at least digs into its archives and brings back the Skyliner badge for the radical design.
    Much like the V10-powered Mustang we tested earlier this year, there’s always a chance that this patent never sees production. Though, with designs continually pushing barriers of available technology, we wouldn’t be shocked to see a Ford with this design sometime in the next few years. Until then, you can head to the Mach-E Club to check out more of these patent drawings.

    Pass on that idea, more weight where you least want it and it would be like a fishbowl sauna in there on a summer day. Plus, that would be a very expensive windshield to replace.

    Ford, I have an idea...how about focusing on making the car lighter? Just a thought...
