If the front panel wasn't down the wind (and sometimes rain) blew in from the sides.
When we complained to the owner he said "our standards were too high" and rental carts were not available during Jan-Feb-Mar so he refused to do anything about it.
I checked TOTV and made a few calls and the next day I had a cart...at $325/month. When I asked him to help pay for it, he refused.
I'm sure this rental was the excecption to the rule, but ask about the cart before you rent...you can bet I will.

Our rental (July) had a gas golf cart, and we nicknamed ours BOB (Bucket of Bolts) - it sounded terrible...thought it was going to leave us stranded at any moment, but we trudged on....also, the lever that changed from forward to reverse was extremely difficult to turn. We were grateful, don't get me wrong, and went just about everywhere in it. So, I agree, the need to check the cart is important...
