Default Roof supports

I have friends with different year carts and it seems that club car changed the roof support design every year. Mine seem to be the worst for the rear seat passengers. Can I use the supports from other years on my cart? If not I will be adding some pipe insulation for padding.

brownchristian,
Looks to me like you have the MadJax folding rear seat.

Probably the expensive model 300 that is Aluminum and composite construction and came with it's own brand new rear roof supports. And has the handy dandy fold up footstep.

I have that setup on mine, and it just doesn't work for Adults in the back seat.

There was another post with the same issues earlier this week.

I haven't seen any solution yet, and I am thinking the only solution would be to go with the long top. Which I don't want to do, as I don't like the look. And the back seat doesn't get used very often.

Put an extended top on and candy canes. Nothing in way of rear adult passengers and the new roof will also cover them.

That looks like a Doubletake max 5 rear flip seat. Finish it off with a Doubletake 80" top.

It's my bad I didn't pay more attention to the seat when I was buying it. But you can clearly see from brownchristian picture that the seat base is about 5" higher than the front seat base.

That is what causes the problem, and would warrant the extended roof, as you suggest.

I install extended tops daily on various makes and models of carts and models of rear seats. Go to doubletake.com and look at their extended tops. Get the roof supports that go with the cart, club car precedent, you have and also with the roof you purchase. If asked you need, the supports for an extended top for a club car precedent with a Max 5 seat.

Thanks guys. I am not partial to extended roofs so for now I am going to pass. Will add some padding in the meantime

Thats my current solution as well.

I have also been thinking about reupholstering the seat with a more dense but thinner cushion.

We will see, as I said earlier the back seat doesn't get used much.
