The windows are great! They provide sooo much more light inside when it's
nice out. They zip up if someone has a problem with privacy. It allows you
to park in different places and be able to see the view. Great if your at a
campground, and want privacy to the east and north, but the west is ok.

We love em. We bought a new top from a notable company online and it was
built very well. With an electric stapler, it only took about 8 hours to
install.
