I got tired of waiting on some company to make a nice set of upper doors that would be user friendly and work well for those of us that have the Yamaha OEM front and rear glass windshields, so I started working on a set myself that can be put up and taken down in under 1 minute. No holes drilled in any plastic, all attachments are with exterior industrial strength Velcro. The zipper was added to make them very easy to fold back and get in and out of but was located to not interfere with using side rear view mirrors.
User friendly functionality with simplicity was what I was trying to achieve and so far I have not found anything I would do differently.
When removed, they are rolled around a children's pool noodle and stored in a black bag at the ceiling, just behind the rear cross member of the roll cage. Made a very simple right angle bracket attached to a roll bar clamp that they rest in and don't move around, but are completely out of the way and easily removed for when you want to install them.
They hang inside the door, but extend below the bottom of the seat cushion so any water runoff coming down the curtain will drip/run off below the seat keeping you dry.
Used 30 gauge clear vinyl in order to get a cold cracking temperature rating of -29 deg. F. Lighter weight vinyls don't have near as cold of a cold cracking temperature rating.
