Look at you current one. If it's like this, easy DIY. Would take 5 minutes to swap all 4 panels.
That would work in a perfect world, but things almost never seem to work out that easily. The female snaps on the replacement fabric need to line up with the male half riveted to the golf cart. Also, many enclosures are custom made to fit over custom aftermarket seats with arm rests that stick out further than the factory seats that won’t accommodate a one size fits all enclosure. Also, if one wants to upgrade to the more user friendly soft touch snaps, a new custom made enclosure might be required. But you are absolutely correct, the panels are very easy to slide in and out of the tracks mounted to the cart. I had to remove a panel to make it easier to repair a small tear and it was very simple.
