INMHO you won't get the wrinkles out.
You can live with the sides as is, but front need to be flat for good viewing.
Maybe replacing the soft flex vinyle with a similar sheet of plexi or lexan could do the trick.
I suspect that the vinyle could be somehow glued to a plexi to make a rigid front window being as both are of the 'plasic' family. Trick would be to find a suitable adhesive.
(Could that be an automotive windshield sealant? or door seal adhesive?)
Personally, I'd try FLEXTRA, which is a polyurathane caulking 'in a tube'.

I have thought of this but will try other things first since I don't need it till winter.

Well, I finally have an update. Everyone was right; I can't get the wrinkles out so I went with a different plan. I cut out the front vinyl window and added a Plexiglas window instead. I used Velcro around the edges to secure the cart cover to the Plexiglas. It worked great and I have some pictures for everyone.

More Pics. I didn't close in the lower sides yet, but it won't be hard since I have the vinyl window I cut out.

I don't wanna come off as a fear monger, but please make sure that loose material can't possibly get caught on anything ... like a rear tire (or PTO shaft) :shocked: It might wrap you up like a cocoon, drag you off & run you over

You can't see them but there are hooks that keep it inside the fenders.
