[QUOTE="753g, post: 1785, member: 272"] as for enclosing the cab, i have a canvas/clear vinyl tent, if you will straped on. it is made per skid application, i got mine through northern tool and equipment, for about $200us. Plexi-glass however would be way cooler (or hotter in this case) i closed in my rear window and roof opening a few years ago to keep debris from smacking my head through the back and to keep sand and other light dirt out of my hair. I used 0.25: thick plexi for this purpose and automotive type neoprene weather stripping to seal it, just stick it to the plexi-glass and bolt the panel the over the opening on the cage you want to seal. make sure to put weather stipping under the edges of the ROPS too. (keep that nasty wind out) If cost is of concern with the plexi-glass, mind you the stuff will probably never break and it adds saftey from small debris it could probably be done all parts included for under 3 bills from home depot. vs. about $1500 from the dealer and about 700 from after maket groups and half of those don't have weather stripping. As far as the door i'd probably use a rubber cord instead of magnents to keep it closed. The weight of the door and a good bump will flop it open. [/QUOTE]
