When running down the road there is quite an air gap at the top of the driver side door. This might not be fixable and might be due to a vacuum effect. Or do I bend the top of the metal frame inwards? Will that help? The door is tight at the latch and lower half. I want to add a heater, not sure which model to buy. I need a defroster more than anything. I’m looking for one that doesn’t obstruct the space/leg room in the cab like the OEM one does on the limited models. Lastly I’m looking at the power windshield from Rough Country on sale now at $799, 1/2 the cost of the OEM model. It looks to be sturdy, but heavy. Advertised as being able to run with it open a little or a lot. Anyone have experience with Rough Country? Thanks all in advance, I’m learning what works as I go.

I’m going to go see a canvas guy who makes all manner of things. I’m going to see if he couldn’t put in a second window, I.e. cut out the center section and add up/down zippers. Save having to roll up the entire window section as opposed to just the center. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install myself or have a shop do it? I’m handy enough, but it was in the teens here this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be doing it myself after I solicit the help from my son-in-law whose really handy with tech stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raised the temp in the cab from -15c to +5c pretty quickly. I do have to leave one of the door windows unzipped a little to prevent the windshield from fogging up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the Mr. Heater golf cart heater and a cheap fan from Amazon. I drilled a hole in a sheet of plywood to slip the heater into and screwed the fan down behind it so it can blow towards the windshield. Clears the windshield right up if it starts to fog. The plywood basically just sits on the arm rest. I screwed some pieces to the underside to wedge into the frame on the back wall that holds the back rests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
