P500 Fabric or solid back window

[Idahocrawler]

for those that have one or the other or have had both , can you give me the pros and cons of either

I’m about to spring for the fabric or make my own solid

Thanks for all the help so far folks

Solid you can’t remove easily at all in warm weather, fabric can be removed or installed in under 10mins.

Hard is LOUD fabric is much quieter.
For COLD weather the hard seals better against the hard roof.

And there’s obviously a significant price difference between the two of them.

Have the fabric on my 2015 RZR and my 2016 Pioneer and both are great ! Wouldn't consider a solid one .
Well maybe if I had an extreme urge to throw away money

Honda soft rear, leave on year round, easy dual zipper open.

Just got the soft rear window and the doors I would say if the doors sealed air tight the hard window might be Alright but there is alot of air leaks in the doors on the bottom and even by the pedals
Not to mention easy removal I'm happy with my choice

You’ve already installed it all?

Yeah up here in Michigan its already been cold so they went on right away the fabric rear window seems well worth it plus there's a zipper to open it when it gets warm
In the summer I've heard that it helps keep the dust from rapping around which I noticed on the trails

Very good, is it possible for you to post pictures of the install, in and out, up close and distance?? Thank you!!

It's kinda hard to make out with my box in the way but it attaches with 8 straps and raps the cage tightly

Is there clear plastic or vinyl in the doors? Did you have to take the Honda roof off in order to get all that installed?

The doors are fabric on the bottom and a clear vinyl on top also with a zipper to open it up
Fit right on didn't have to remove anything raps right around ties in with the rear window seals up with magnets

Great, so you’re pleased so far!!! Please come back and report after you put it to the test on the trail for a while. Thx

I have that same set up but a different roof, I trail rode last winter a bunch of times, even though it has some gaps here and there rarely does wind get in, I also purchased a heated car seat cushion I plug into the 12v and I also use the 500 for plowing.. I’m happy with the way it all works and would buy it again, the heat coming from the engine and heated seat cover and the fact you stay out of the wind makes winter riding fun... dress warm and enjoy

You bet and I’m pleased with it, actually mounted the plow frame back on so it’s ready to work and ride this winter, they groom the trails for the snowmobiles here and I can ride those trails, the lack of dust and smooth packed trails makes winter riding almost more fun
