Yeah, I got the same answer from Villages Golf Cars salesman “we will NEVER carry them because it’s something that could break” to which my reply was “oh, yeah the same technology used on every roll-up shade on multiple windows in millions of homes? You’re right!”

If you are responding about the ones that have a chain that rolls up the blinds, I'd very much like to hear your experience including where you purchased them. If you looked at the website I posted, you'll see that the ones I'm referring to come from NY, although there may be other alternatives. Thanks.

I use a golf club plastic tube, available for $2 at Walmart. I slit the tube and slid the bottom of the curtain through the slit and locked it in with a wiretie. Rolls up quickly and neatly, by hand of course.

The mfg. is Club Protector from NY. Phone number 800-338-8749.

Also, they were the inventors of the canopy-type club protector and have been in business since the 90's. I'm sure if you call them they will have their local installer give you a call.

I played golf, sharing a cart with someone who had a Curtis Cab...

HATED IT! Getting in and out was a a constant challenge to avoid whacking my head, shoulders, etc... Maybe it's because I'm tall, but I'd never buy one...

And what is the difference in price of the two types ? I assume it could (??) be thousands MORE for an all hard enclosure ?
