Frequently Asked Questions
What helmets does the fit?
This shield fits RaceQuip PRO SA-2010 and PRO SA-2015 (PRO15) full-face helmets, as well as RaceQuip SFI 24.1-2010 and SFI 24.1-2015 Youth series full-face helmets. It does not fit Vesta or Vesta20 series helmets, open-face helmets, SA2005 or older helmets, or any helmet from another manufacturer.
Does the 204001 fit the RaceQuip PRO20 or SA-2020 helmets?
Compatibility with the PRO20 (SA-2020) series is not confirmed for this part. This shield is specifically rated for PRO SA-2010 and PRO SA-2015 helmets. If you own a PRO20 helmet, contact RaceQuip directly to confirm whether the 204001 is the correct replacement or whether a newer shield part number applies.
Will this shield accept tear-off films?
Yes. The shield ships with tear-off posts installed, which accept RaceQuip PRO series tear-off films. Tear-off films are sold separately; the compatible part is RQP203213 (2-mil, 20-pack PRO series tear-offs). Tear-off films are not included with this shield.
What hardware is included in the box?
The kit includes the clear face shield, one visor strip, and tear-off posts. It does not include pivot screws, friction guide screws, springs, washers, or the hold-down post. If you need replacement pivot hardware, order RQP204111 separately.
What is the material and thickness of this face shield?
The shield is made from 3mm distortion-free, high-strength polycarbonate. The 3mm thickness is the standard for SFI-rated racing shields. RaceQuip’s M-series (motorcycle) shields use a thinner 2mm polycarbonate; the 3mm SA-series thickness provides greater structural integrity for open-cockpit racing environments.
What is the difference between the 204001 Clear and the 204004 Dark Smoke shields?
Both shields share identical fitment, construction, material, and included hardware. The only difference is tint. The 204001 is clear, passing maximum light, making it the best choice for indoor tracks, night racing, overcast days, and general all-condition use. The 204004 Dark Smoke reduces light transmission and is better suited for bright outdoor daytime racing in direct sunlight.
Is this shield compatible with SCCA, NHRA, or NASA competition requirements?
The shield itself does not carry a standalone SFI or Snell certification; certification applies to the complete helmet assembly. As a genuine OEM replacement shield from RaceQuip designed for SA-2010 and SA-2015 certified helmets, it is the manufacturer-approved replacement for sanctioned competition use. Always verify with your specific sanctioning body that your helmet and shield combination meets their current rulebook requirements before competing.
Can I use tear-offs in the rain or on road courses?
Tear-off films are primarily used in dirt oval and off-road racing where debris and roost quickly foul the shield. On road courses or in wet conditions, a clean clear shield without tear-offs typically provides better optics. This shield is tear-off compatible, but their use is at the driver’s discretion based on racing environment and conditions.
How do I install this shield on my PRO series helmet?
The shield mounts to the helmet via pivot posts on either side of the helmet shell. Remove the existing shield by unsnapping or unscrewing the pivot hardware, align the new shield onto the posts, and secure. The visor strip clips along the top edge of the shield to provide a seal against the helmet shell. If your pivot hardware is worn or damaged, order RQP204111 as a complete hardware kit before installation.
Does this shield have an anti-fog coating?
The shield features a distortion-free low-fog polycarbonate construction, which refers to the optical quality and geometry of the lens rather than a chemical anti-fog coating. RaceQuip does not specify an applied anti-fog treatment on this shield. For extreme fogging conditions, aftermarket anti-fog inserts or treatments designed for polycarbonate shields can be used.
