I completed enclosing my 3-seater today with fabric upper doors by CEC Enclosures. $385 shipped. I have Honda glass, roof and hard rear panel.
I considered the Honda OEM hard doors but way too much. Then the Honda OEM upper fabric doors but a number of people didn't seem pleased with them, mostly with the installation. They also didn't seem to seal up well. I liked the CEC ones but I gotta be honest, at first I didn't know if I was going to like zipping in and zipping out each time, like getting in and out of a tent. Because of the zipper design the whole things seals up really well, much better than the Honda OEM.
Installation took just over an hour. It is a series of straps that snaps the fabric around the ROPS. I had to loosen the clamps to slip the straps under the windshield and roof. Most of them I had plenty of room to get around the extend vent lines and electrical lines I have zip tied to the ROPS. I had problem with two straps in the same spot on both doors. One strap was way too long and one was way to short up in the top rear corner where I couldn't snap it. I don't know why. Very minor and still very functional.
Then you have to install snaps into the the lower door and base of the windshield. Easy to do. I own a boat and deal with canvass and snaps all the time. A really nice fit. You could easily transport this at 90 mph and it's not going anywhere, very air and water tight. To get in and out, you have to zip open the window, reach in and open the door. It is an extra step to get in and out but I think worth it because everything seals up so well. There is a way to roll the window up and strap it to the lower door.
I kinda wish I could just zipper the window right off but I have a feeling if they did that, it would become unzippered each time you opened the door. Then you'd have to thread the zipper each time. Removing the window would also prevent damage if I trail ride. I think taking them off and on will shorten to 20 minutes now that know the process and the snaps are in place. I heard the Honda upper doors are a pain to take off and back on. I'll probably only have them on December through February or March.
Overall I am very pleased with the design and workmanship. CEC was great to deal with. I think this is going to work very well for me.
