Pioneer fabric doors

[Jerry3]

Has anyone bought the fabric doors and installed them yet? I have the glass windshield, hard roof, and soft rear panel, and I'm wondering about ordering the 4 fabric doors. I want doors that are easy to come off, as I only plan on leaving them on for winter plowing...

The doors dont get released until the 31st I believe. I plan on buying a set, will let you know when I get them.

 

[Jerry3]

Well, I Just Ordered All 4 Fabric Doors, And Installed The Back Cloth Panel Today.

I'll be excited to see how they install and seal be sure to take pics. I'll be ordering some soon myself.

My dealer told me the doors are on backorder until the 15th...

Anyone seen doors yet??? Honda Heater?? Update on release dates?? Getting cold here.

When we called this week to ensure that yet another deadline they gave us for delivery of our pioneer would be missed, they also mentioned that the soft doors are still not available. No dates, but Its not like the dates would matter at this point.

Called parts today to check. Doors are now not due in until Dec 15……and the heater is not due in until Jan 1. Shoot……could use 'em now…..not in Spring. :x

Note to self: This is the last time you buy a first year production model. You are never happy when you do this…..all manufactures break their promises.

Yea, I just spoke to my dealer too and he said dec 15th for the doors... And still no word on an aftermarket plow yet either... Hopefully the snow holds off lol

Picked up my 700-4 today (finally!) And low and behold, the rear fabric doors were there. No fronts yet, but perhaps not too far behind.

First impressions, pretty slick looking. They are a light aluminum tube frame, and the door (window) itself actually pivots as the door opens. A quick glance shows one or two bolts used I think, but the rest is secured by velcro straps. I just finished installing hardtop, 2 piece windscreen and rear panel, I'll get picks of the rear doors later tonight. Still gotta do the while "reveal" for the wife and kids, shes at work.

strange they would ship rear doors before the would ship front doors. Duh!

 

[binfordw]

Yea, what I thought. Can't wait for the fronts!

 

[foggy]

OK….it was 5 degrees this morning. Making ice on the lakes. I really could USE the dang doors and a heater. NOW would be nice!…..and don't ship the first ones to FL.

Just mounted my rear doors and mid screen. Seems pretty nice, However, for $550, I would've liked to see another mounting option besides hose clamps!

I stuck some innertube pieces under the hose clamps to prevent rollbar scratches.

Binfordw, How difficult was mounting the doors? Could ya snap a pics or two of the hose clamps? Thanks, Dale

 

[binfordw]

Mounting wasn't too bad, I put both on in 20 mins or so I'd say. I didn't get a pic of the hardware, sry- I had bad lighting in the shop this morning, so the pics I did grab are pretty poor. It uses 3 hose clamps per side, and plastic clips- The hose clamp goes through the clips base, then attaches to rollbar. the aluminum tube of the door frame snaps into the clips and locks shut, so they can be removed fairly easily without removing the mounts- just unsnap the clips, and unstrap Velcro in 4-5 places. Was a bit surprised to see hoseclamps, but, I guess it does work fine- and they aren't really noticeable.

You unscrew a bolt from the door latch, and re-attach with a buckle for a web strap, that's what holds the top of the "door" to the actual door. Then a strap clips onto the handle, and pokes through a grommet in the door, so it can be opened from the outside by pulling the strap.

Overall, pretty happy with them. Price is steep at $550, but that will be long forgotten when its 0 degrees!

Thanks for the pics, like everyone I am waiting for mine to come in. I think you are the first to have received them! My dealer can't even order them yet. He tried and the order keeps getting canceled as not available.
