The plurality of glass panels each having a weatherseal either on the top edge of the preferred embodiment or on the lower edge on a second embodiment and slot engaging side edges. The motor mechanism is connected to the reciprocating shuttle by cables to raise and lower the shuttle. The shuttle carries the glass panels up and down in the slots where each panel is stopped by a pair of removable stops in each slot in a relationship to create an enclosure. The bottom member and side member slots cooperate to remove all or individual glass panels. The bottom member has a removable panel and the slotted side members have unslotted areas where glass panels are quickly and easily removed by removing the stops.
