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.

Yes, I have solved this on my D5. The car rubber door strip (
Amazon Door Strip) works fantastic!.
It's extremely difficult to just try to slide it on dry. The easiest way to install is to remove your windshield (it's just a couple of bolts), cut to length, coat the channel of the door strip with dish soap, and then it slides on pretty easy.
Use a hose to rinse the soap out before reattaching the windshield, then reattach the windshield. You can slide the channel a bit before it drys and it will conform to the shape of your cart front cowling.
Looks factory when done. I told my dealer about this - I think they should install this on every cart they sell. It's a really cheap fix that looks great and works very well.
