I have a clear section across between the dodger and bimini that zips in and out, clear plastic. Makes it more open and easier to sail in the rain . When we sail the dodger and bimini are in place, we add the front glass when it is cool, and the upper glass when it rains, the side panels are 4 parts, two sides and 2 backs , we put up the sides first then the backs if need be. In a light rain at anchor the top piece, the sides are often all all we need. Having the flexibility of the multiple pieces is welcome.
