[TR] thots on side curtains

[Gary Nafziger]

While working with my side curtains I've been impressed by how sloppy the worn
ones fit as well as how hard it is to get a good tight fit on re-built ones. 
It made me wonder about how many brand new tr-3's were daily drivers back then
throughout the whole year including winter especially in the midwest.
I can't
imagine a tr-3 even all buttoned up sitting outside during a midwest winter. 
Rain mostly comes straight down but blowing snow could sift through the
smallest opening and cover the whole inside; then melt.  Imagine 3 day white
out blizzards with 25-30 mile winds!
Anyone have these type of experiences? 
LOL
