Abstract

A weather guard for an open-sided golf cart or similar vehicle. The weather guard may include a roller mount, and an elongated roller rotatably mounted to the roller mount, the roller defining a roller axis. A transparent, flexible curtain may be secured to the roller. A support may be attached to the roller mount, such that the support attaches the weather guard to a vehicle, with the support extending from the mount generally perpendicular to the roller axis and includes a hook formation designed to hook at least partially around a roof support of the vehicle. At least one guard fastening mechanism may be attached to the roller mount for attaching the weather guard to the vehicle, the guard fastening mechanism being designed to extend through a grab handle provided on the vehicle.
