I don't think that it would help in unrolling the curtains. You undo the snaps and they pretty much unroll themselves. This device is good for rolling them up, a task which I hate. I can never seem to get them even. I ride around like most people with bits and pieces of the curtain hanging out and looking very messy. It looks like ti would speed up the process of rolling them up and make the cart look neater. It also may be better for the curtains to not them them all rolled up in different ways.
I'm definitely buying one.

It would be nice if, as getdul981 says, it would fit in the little hole between the bag straps, (which is for bunker rakes, by the way), or if it's short enough it should fit behind the seat in the little slot between the seat and the body.

FYI...This item was designed by Carroll, the door attendant with the big black cowboy hat @ Katie Belles. He was telling us about this invention a few months ago. Very nice guy, I hope this does well for him!

I used to do the same thing with a broom stick, but had no place to store it, so I now start rolling from the middle and it's twice as fast since you have half the distance to roll.

I have never had a problem rolling the side curtains up. Fold them in half and roll.

However, I wish this guy good luck on his endeavor.

You can also use a length of black insulation foam and it is already slit.

On storing the tube, it looks like you could just leave it in the last one you roll up.
