Don---Its plain that you have missed some of my posts. How did the side windows work?? They worked wonderfull.----BUT---The wedge shape of the cab, being narrow in front and wider at the rear seemed to create some type of airfoil effect with the sidewindows in place, and created a low pressure area inside the cab. This in turn sucked rainwater in through the stitching in the canvas top. No water came in through the sidewindows, but due to the low pressure area, and the fact that the top seam runs right across the top of my head, it was raining as hard inside the car as it was outside.--It was a horrible rainy trip (3500 miles) and for most of that trip I wore a plastic gargage bag rolled up and stuffed under my sodden hat, with a series of big white towels, stolen from various hotels along the way rolled up and tucked around the neck of my leather jacket to keep the rain from dripping down the back of my neck!!!
