What accessories or gadgets have you run across, for your cart, that you enjoy?

Bonus if anyone has an awesome suggestion as to how to mount an iPhone for GPS use.

Thanks, in advance.
Tint across the top 6-7" of the window. Don't know why more people haven't installed it.

Steering wheel mount for your phone is much better than the others.

I like this idea as the morning sun is brutal. Did you apply this yourself or have someone do it? If someone else, who did you use?

A large bag you can secure with golf bag straps to be used when going grocery shopping to hold your purchased items safely while in route back to your home.

Do you use the standard of the long one? By the way, love your username. I have very close friends who are from one of the two original families from Moloka'i. Now all on the west side of Maui.

I bought a roll (from Lowe's I think) and installed myself several years ago, works great, I still have film left over if you are interested. Very easy to install.

I will add a new gadget. Tire pressure chages with the weather in a golf cart. I added this to both my carts

If you get one for the cup holder. Get one that still allows you to use the cup holder

Would be a wast of money for me, windshield is almost always folded down, especially if it’s sunny. Money would be better spent on a good pair of sunglasses.
