P500 Rear windshield for P520

[wvupsc]

I have the Honda soft rear window on my p520. When I plowed snow with my 520 for the first time a few nights ago, I found it very difficult to see out the back thru the window when I was backing up. It was dark and snowing hard at the time. I might need to install a small rear-facing flood light. ...just something to think about when considering rear windows.

One option is a LED light on the lower center rear of the OEM roof for a cab dome/cargo bed/back up light. Kept the bracket just snug enough to be able to tilt it towards the cab or rear facing. Dash switch wiring is connected near the light using the 2 lead plug to make it easy if removal of the roof is ever needed.

I recently found this one that looks pretty good.

I've got this one on the way - was super tired of the vinyl/fabric rear window. Hopefully fits well with the bed and seals up the cab a little better. I'll post once I get it installed.

Looks real nice Pappy!! You are the man of fabrication for sure! Love it man.

Look forward to your feedback!

It’s in the garage and made it here unscathed (even though the box is in shambles). I’ve been busy fishing, but was planning on messing around with it and trying to get it on today - just not sure how the mounting points are with the doors and roof. I’ll post pics and keep everyone updated.

Started taking the rear fabric panel off on Sunday and realized its going to be a major pain in the ass because of the doors. Been using it almost every weekend and have some fishing trips planned, so might have to end up being a warmer weather project with the turn signals/blinkers.

Literally every single project/small thing I want to get done for the Honda ends up being a way bigger pain in the ass than I always plan for.

And the more sh!t you put on the bigger the pain gets. Seems like I can't do anything anymore without tearing half the machine apart.

This is why I’m researching so much and buying it all at once. 😂🤣

Yeah I did that once too. 😁

My accessories pile is adding up; all waiting on electrical runs. Then I'll install the skid plate and any other fun stuff (Mudbusters, bumpers, Moose hitch, rear storage)

I think the clamps are going to be my issue with the doors:

Anybody know where I can find these? I think the 500/520 ROPs are 1 5/8" but I cant find them on Amazon or anywhere.

I should have spent the extra cash and got this one I'm thinking....

I feel like if I can find those clamps that utvwindshields uses it should hopefully be able to work.

Might work, but pretty expensive for a single strap (I need 4)

Looks like something an electrical supply place would have lots of in various sizes

My emp windshield uses them and they work well. Probably less obstructive than the others.

I ended up just paying for them - was like $46-47 after I got the 10% off. Annoying as s***, but prob will lead to less hassle.

Had to drill some holes to get the EMP mounts to fit, but so far so good. Drilled a few smaller holes for extra zip ties and less rattle. Will be taking it fishing tomorrow so will see how it holds up being trailered…
