P1000 Mid panel vs rear panel pioneer 1000-5

[2018GMC]

Hi all,
Just installed a super atv split windshield. I’ve noticed even with it cracked open, I still get dust swirling in from the back. Now it’s usually just me and a front passenger in the 1000-5 but I occasionally haul rear passengers.

Anyone have experience with the mid vs rear panel? I have been looking at the mid but then my rear passengers will be dusted.

If I just do the rear panel with a hard roof and windshield, will I still get dust coming in from the rear sides?

Mid panel works... the rear panel will help but not to the degree the mid panel does

Don't be too discouraged; I have the SATV windshield and dust accumulation was significant, so I installed the rear panel. I can feel positive pressure throughout the cabin while driving since adding it. I haven't had an opportunity to test it on a dusty road yet, but I'm optimistic that there will be significant improvement.

Just joined the forum and noticed your post, I haven't had the chance to test much yet but I just put on a spidershade sun shade to use as a rear panel on my 1000-5. Was checking it out at the 4x4 shop and the guy said it's a bimini for a TJ. Anyhow, it's a little long but width is perfect for the cage, it's made out of very fine heavy duty mesh. Hoping it'll be enough to interrupt the dust swirl!

purchased a rear pannel last spring. helps with the dust big time. bet the mid pannel is even better.

Ordered the mid panel.

Anyone running windshield + mid panel + rear panel?

 

[Pronghorn1]

What brand panels are you using? How about doors? thanks.

Update ~ mid panel works great for keeping front seat dust free. I’ve noticed that There is a blast of air right behind your head.

Problem now is rear seat is getting all the dust.

I ordered the rear panel as well.

Going to try SATV split windshield, mid panel, rear panel.

Will update when I Go ride in dusty conditions again.

The back panel cuts some of the dust down but doesn't solve the problem. When driving anything faster then 35mph the dust still rolls in. We usually open up the window vents in the front to keep some of the dust out. We are thinking about buying the Aegis Air Spoiler or something similar to it.

Ok, new scenario, i have the JEI bed extender. If I put the rear soft panel on,do you guys think it will work, being that the tailgate will be down and the panel being a bit short then?

Yep. I've got the same setup. Zippers hold great.

I have the split windshield with a Honda brand rear panel on my 1000-5. I haven't used it in terribly dusty conditions, but I can tell a remarkable improvement of positive air-pressure that eliminates exhaust odor just driving on paved roads in the neighborhood.

I run mid and rear panel. When I have rear passengers I open mid panel. The rear panel helps keep a lot of the dust behind the machine out. Not all by any means but rear doesn’t get nearly as dusty.
Seems like the best dust free experience is no front window no mid and rear is optional. Front window disturbs the positive airflow and creates a negative pressure that sucks dust in from sides and rear of machine. But it is needed in cool or wet weather!

I still am running no upper doors on front and rear. Just to much $$$ $600 for front OR rear?

Summers coming so can get by. May have to break down this coming winter and get doors.

So I just purchased the OEM hard rear mid panel and doors. Does anyone know if one has to be installed before the other? I already installed the doors and it looks like I should have installed the rear panel first as it looks like the B-pillar door mounts are supposed to lay over top of the hard rear mid panel?

Mid panel first. My mid panel stays on all the time. I take the hard doors off in the Spring and put the half doors back on

With your mid panel on, no hard doors, how well does it do with dust in the summer? I have a hard glass windshield and I am considering adding the mid panel but no full door.

Do you carry passengers with your mid panel still on? Any complaints on how that is?

A mid panel is pretty much the best thing you can do for dust in the summer. I have had one for quite a few years and has helped alot. Note, you will NEVER get rid of the dust! Its a SXS and way too many gaps to fill. During hunting season i have buddys that ride in the back with the mid panel up. They dont complain. Summer time..well they would most likely b**** cuz the mid panel stops most of the dust from the rear gets swirled around and trapped in the bed. Thats what your stopping with a mid panel. You can try just a rear panel when u have rear passengers to see if that helps

Fact is with any full windshield, even the SATV that tilts for a air gap you will get dust. If you don’t want dust in the cab you have to completely seal up cab with full doors and mid panel. Or from the showroom - stripper style, wide open, no windshield or panels.

I have the satv flip up windshield, mid and rear panel. Rear panel definitely stops some dust from getting in the rear but over 25mph you will get dust in the rear and front with a full windshield.
The fabric mid and rear panels have the option of rolling up for airflow or to talk with passengers in the rear. Overall they are ok but scratch very easily and zippers get stuck so rinse with water so they move freely again.
