Curtis Cabs look and feel so cheap and rickety. When it's windy, if they're open, they kinda smack around against the back of the cart. Also because they open away from the cart, going over the golf cart bridges can be perilous. Especially if someone else with an open curtis cab is passing you from the other direction. Adding one to a "new build" would set a buyer back around $5000. On top of what they're already paying for the golf cart.

Sleekline look and feel more secure but meh. It's not a must have. It'll also cost a couple thousand bucks.

A Sunbrella is a common cover, track-style slides into tracks on the roof and snaps at the base of the cart's sides. It rolls up when not in use, and has zippers inside and out so you can secure it when you drive, and "open the door" to get out, and then zip it back up once you're out to keep the rain out. They're under $1000 but keeping them clean is a little more tricky and you have to make sure the snaps aren't too tight or it'll eventually rip.
