Concerns about golf cart roof in back of pick up

It’s our first camp season with our new golf cart. We have a travel trailer and Ram 3500 dooly. The golf cart fits and can be secured just fine in the bed of the Ram to close the tailgate and haul the trailer.

Question is…what about the roof of the gold cart at 60-70 mph? There is a solar panel on the roof and taking it off is very difficult.

What recommendations does anyone have to secure the roof for travel? Does anyone think the roof will be ok without any further securing measures and why?

Thank you!

I know you're asking about the roof, but we had he windshield of a cart fall out while riding on a golf course a couple days ago so be aware that all accessories need to be secured.

Now we know what one of those wind deflector roof wings, that mount on top of truck, would be good for.

I see RVer's hauling them in the back of pickups all the time as well as fleets delivering them on open tractor trailers. Don't appear to be any extra consideration for the roofs.

Ratchet strap it down. Two or three straps front to back.

Build a box around it?

Is your cart like the ones I often see loaded on a open semi-trailer, rolling down highway?

I agree. But if we aren’t taking it off, any ideas?

That roof was not designed for 60 mph.
