P500 Honda factory rear window installation question

[bowhunterbill]

Does anybody have the factory soft rear window with the zippered middle section?



To close-in the cab, I recently added an EMP laminated glass windshield, EMP metal roof and Falcon Ridge soft doors. So far, so good.

I have a Dusty Dawgs rear rack, which has 2 mounting brackets (circular split disks) which are on the diagonal roll cage tubes. I put fender washers on the bolt so my hunting pack can be hung there on the pack’s loop.

Those will clearly interfere







My question-could the Honda part be mounted in front of the roll-cage if I cut out holes for where the headrests mount to the roll cage? If yes, then I can roll-up the central portion in the summer. Our dog has no interest in going in through the rear gate, but on a ‘kennel up’ command hops on the bench seat and is ready to go on a ride. Cold weather (hunting or plowing snow), she’s smart than me and stays in a warm house.

I have a Honda fabric rear panel but it's rolled up on a shelf, not installed, so I can't answer questions. It's a good product, fit well at the top and upper sides, but allowed cold air into the cab at bottom and around dump bed handles. I replaced it with a hard panel which I like much better.

Thanks. Maybe we can get it out of your garage?

Oops. I'm sorry. I didn't realize yours is a P500. I think the cab is smaller.

Which model do you have?

Me? I have a P1K3. Dealer (salesman) recommended and dealer installed a Honda fabric rear panel. I liked it fine until I drove the buggy in near freezing temp weather.. Too much cold air entered below panel. I had dealer install a Honda brand hard rear cab panel. Like it much better.

I'd like to sell the fabric panel which is like new. Was on buggy for two or three months. A member wanted to buy it but I priced a shipping container and freight charges and it wasn't worth the trouble for me or buyer. It would be best to sell it to someone who lives nearby or is visiting southern WV to ride the Hatfield & McCoy Trail system which is not very far from my home.

Is it p/n osr95-hl5-100?

You are probably right about shipping costs. I can buy one (if it fits) for $135.

What I’d like to know (if somebody has one installed) is where the zipper is and could there be holes punched in the vinyl left (driver) and right (passenger) of the zipper to have the fixed portion between the headrest and diagonal tube, and the zipper still function?
