P500 Back windows = better dust control?

[Bushbaby]

I've found that going along dry gravel/forestry roads at speed I get a huge amount of dust coming in. It's not as bad when on tight trails at lower speeds. I can control it a bit by raising my windshield (Honda OEM) as far as it will go so the wind comes in and breaks the vacuum effect that sucks the dust in behind you. At least I think that's what happens. Does installing a rear window help at all or is it a waste of money?

Adding a back panel works very well. I also sealed the area under the seat and up behind the seats with material mostly to combat the heat, but it helps with the dust as well.

I have a full rear canvas and plastic rear panel. The dust diminishes abit but it’s not a panacea.

Which rear panel,errrr, rear window, gets the thumbs-up from you guys ? I would like to install one too...

I've ordered an Octane Dust Stopper Rear Mesh which should arrive this week. It's half the cost of the OEM vinyl rear window and it may be a waste of money but I'll report back after I try it out.

I'm looking around right now and I see Tusk offers one.... Under $70 shipped...not too bad..

Like the zipper flap on OEM, don’t know if others have it.

I made a rear panel from 3mm thick UHMW along with Lexan roof and sealed behind the seat with truckers synthetic tarp. Works as good as can be expected, although it does keep the heat from engine in. So I also installed a small fan and 3” aluminum tubing for water craft venting under the seat to blow hot air out the rear of the machine, with manual switch works great. It just never ends bahahahaa

I bought a soft plastic back window for a Polaris Ranger off e-bay for $35. Used small bungee cords to secure it. It's been on my 500 since 2014 and is still in good shape. Link is above for one like it.
