We discovered very quickly that the Evolution does NOT have a seal between the lower windshield panel and the cart body.

I searched on-line for some sort of weatherstripping to fill this gap. I think I’ve found something suitable; I haven’t installed it yet. (My wife didn’t like my idea of stuffing half of a pool noodle into the gap.)

Has anyone else addressed my problem on their Evolution cart? What solution did you use? Other model carts (Yamaha and Star) don’t have this problem; there is a weatherstrip at the bottom of the windshield of these carts. Other carts MIGHT have the strip too, but I didn’t check other brands.

Thanks for reading.

Most Star carts do have a significant "gap" (it depends on which windshield was used). The companies that make the sunbrella or other covers, make a piece to cover the gap.
