Here in Michigan we have been having nasty weather, so I decided to spring for a golf cart enclosure to keep the worst of the weather off me. I purchased this Classic Accessories Two Man golf cart cover off Amazon for $78. One trick to know is that Amazon often advertises a certain number of items as "used". If it is fulfilled by Amazon, they are actually new, but in scuffed boxes or sometimes out of a box all together. Mine was in a slightly scuffed box, but perfect and unopened. I was really impressed with the quality of this cover - nice material, clear plastic and nice zippers and attachment straps.
My canopy was about 8 inches shorter than the roof of the cover, so I built an extra frame to keep it from looking like a kid in his dad's suit. The frame is just 3/4" EMT conduit bent into a U shape and mounted forward of the canopy. On the bottom of the FEL frame, I bolted on a piece of angle iron with a rod sticking straight up to go into the EMT. In the middle, I attached a bracket to hold the fore / aft position of the frame. There is little force on it and it is plenty sturdy.
The only significant openings are in front, on either side of the engine. If it turns out to be a problem, I will make some inserts to block this area.
The photo taken out the window is a little deceiving - I think the plastic fooled the auto focus. It is actually much clearer that it appears. I may try a hair dryer to get out the wrinkles.
