Roll down back window
 
1 Attachment(s)
I own 3 carts.

Two have a back window, the third does not. All are Club Cars, all bought used.

One has a fancy, zip down that was clearly part of the roll down package enclosure.

One has what appears to be a stand-alone that is attached at the roof and snaps up when not used.

The 3rd has nothing and channels a nice draft down your neck, even if you pull the golf club cover out. Nice in July, not so nice at the moment.

I'd prefer to have have something clear to that hangs right behind the seat. I can manage attaching it, I just need the material.

I've tried googling around and searching all the cart type places like Buggies unlimited, but I'm not finding anything that fits.

Suggestions?

Have you tried the online golf cart parts and accessories websites, try searching golf cart parts, most of these sites have a chat on phone contact number so that you can ask specific questions, buggies unlimited seems to have a lot of stuff.

They are usually included as part of a kit. I may have a used piece of channel laying around if you decide to make your own or get a local upholstery shop to fab one. Let me know if I need to go look.

I haven't tried the chat thing.

Buggies doesn't have anything listed, I've searched them, golf cart king and some others. I can buy a full enclosure, but not just the window.

Is there a golf cart junk yard? I really just need the clear plastic, I can fabricate everything else.

Thanks. One would think I'm not the only person in the world missing a window and offer a replacement. heh.

OK, I misunderstood, go to Joanns fabrics, they have the heavy duty vinyl that you are looking for, I bought some to fix our cats pet door.

Ah, ok.

Thanks, let me give that a whirl.

Yes use heavy duty vinyl and get heavy duty black fasteners, like Velcro from Lowe’s and it would be easy to do.

Or wear a hat and lite jacket
 
remember the good old days Days before JFK took off his hat and changed men's fashion history forever?

"wear a hat and a light jacket" ?

One of my favorite things of all time was using my 17FT/lb Ariens Platinum 24 Sno Throw. Best power to bucket size ratio you can find. Another favorite was pushing it with the plow on my truck.

I lived in the town in NJ that tops the snow totals every year and "bottoms" the cold totals every year. I worked 8 miles from Manhattan but lived 40 miles away at elevation and the temperatures routinely were 15 degrees colder at home.

It's not that I can't take the cold. I'd much prefer to just ride around in a T-shirt and not have 45 degree air blowing down my neck ;)

Typical winters looked about like this. Here's my little buddy fetching a ball.

He's somewhat adapted to Florida now too. Last night on the cart he was shivering, had to wrap him in my Fleece shirt then he fell asleep.

I found some clear Vinyl at JoAnn's fabric yesterday and ordered some Velcro from Amazon.

I thought about bolting it up there, and I ultimately may do that, but I want the wife to sew together a nice set of snaps and a fabric retainer before I do that.

I know the other question is "why not use one of the other carts". The one cart is my wife's and while it's got great seats, it's configured for short people. I'm the opposite of that.

The other cart, while nicer, is the one we supply with our rental property and I like to keep it in nice condition. Mine has fat tires, rock lights, rides like a Sherman tank and requires some finesse with the throttle, but it's all mine.

Do a search on this site for golf card enclosure repair. There are several recommendations. Velcro will not work, I tried it. You need zippers.

I went to Lowe's and bought a piece of plexiglass and fastened it to bars back of the seats.
