I am looking into fully enclosed canvas doors and roof. I would like the hard enclosure but its a little out of my budget. I was wanting to know if anyone has the canvas enclosure, and how it does when it rains. Do they keep all the rain water out or do they leak through at all? Or do they connect well with the hard plastic roofs? Trying to see what the best way to do it without spending 2k, just looking for the best bang for my buck option. Also what is the best front windshield to get with the enclosure. I currently have a "scratch resistant" which definitely has scratches just from dust. So I would like to get a glass windshield.

Also would I need to remove my sound bar that is hooked on the middle roof bar. Just looking for options, any help or information is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the club!

I can't be of much help of the enclosure but I do recommend the SATV flip up windshield.

We say...........pics or it didn't happen!!!

Your ? Is a little confusing. Most people are talking about enclosures when they are talking about the ones that have to be unzipped to open doors. Ex cec enclosures, green mountain enclosures, utv enclosures. These do not include roof. I think Honda makes a fabric Bimini top. I have a Honda hard roof and Honda canvas upper doors on a p3. The doors rub the top a little but the top extends out a little further than the doors so everything stays dry. There are some gaps that could possibly allow some rain to be blown in but it hasn’t been a problem.

Truthfully you need to plan to spend close to $2k, windshield $500-600, roof $500+, enclosure or doors $500-$700. I’d add a Honda mid fabric panel even if you go with one of the zippered enclosures as it’ll help reduce dust for another $150.

I have the below:
SATV flip up windshield
SATV rear window
SATV roof
Honda fabric mid panel
Seizmik front door

All of this creates a great enclosure that reduces the wind by 95% and dust by 95% as well but it still isn’t cheap but cheaper then a hard setup. I haven’t ridden it in the rain but there are points I guess it could come in but very little would.

Here is a video I took at 40mph, there is zero wind noise, wind noise was the same up to 60mph just didn’t video it

Nice, Yeah that's the set up I need. I don't ride in the rain a lot but I just want to have something enclosed so I don't get wet if it ever starts raining and also just to be able to ride more in the winter time. Is your windshield real glass?

Nope it is the hard coated poly.

It may just be the video, but does your windshield on the drivers side have a thicker weatherstripping in it, I noticed on my satv flip up that my drivers side has a little gap where the rest is pretty much flush?
