Was out with a tour group 2 weeks ago and on top of Butler Peak (in Big Bear Lake, Ca) around 4:00pm after about a 40 min drive up and my passengers even though dressed warm with heavy jackets and hats, gloves etc.... they were freezing as it was about 28 degrees out and gusting winds to about 20mph, so while they (my passengers) hiked the last 400 yards to the forrest lookout I rolled down my sides and fired up my trusty Mr. Heater Buddy to take the chill out of the back for them, this got me thinking there has to be a better way to keep them slightly warmer or atleast block the wind chill a little and let them see outside, maybe take away the feeling of being in a cave, so monday morning I went to a local upholstery shop and got a quote to make up some clear side curtians....dang $800.00, I knew I could do it for less, so I went to my local upholstery supply house and bought 5 yards of soft top window material (54" wide) and various snaps and gromments and necessary tools for installing gromments and snaps.
Well about 3 days of thought and labor on my part and this is what I came up with...

I'll be keeping the regular rear flap closed for now, but might make one out of same material to add onto the rear, will be testing them out this weekend will let you know how well it works, oh and the best part besides a few days of my time it only cost me $120.00.
