P1000m5 Soft Doors with Hard Top

[TimKoth]

Hi All,

I have a 2016 Pioneer 1000-5 deluxe. I have the bimini top for it, and my soft doors will be in soon. My dealer told me I had to use the bimini top with the soft doors, as they won't work with a hard top. I really don't like the bimini top & would rather have the hard top. I live in northern WI, so the soft doors is a must for the next few months.

I saw some pictures online of soft doors mounted with a hard top.

Has anyone tried the soft doors with a hard top? If so, could you send a couple pictures, so I can show my dealer. I am having them install the soft doors later this week.

Thanks for any help!
Tim

I have a set of soft doors and a hard top on mine. It works, they just rub on the top when you open and close the door. I'll add the soft doors are less than ideal, I would go as far to say they are a rip off for what they cost and how poorly they seal, they actually have a Velcro strap on the top you have to use to pull them in tight around the roll bar. You can see the gap around the door in the picture.

Do they help when it's cold out, or do you still get a lot of air in the cab, because of the poor seal?

It's better than no door at all, the whole cab is drafty, there is another thread about the air that blows through the shifters and that is true. That excess heat from the seat feels pretty good in the winter though.

Thanks for the info, I am going to see if my dealer will do the install.

Soft doors with hard top , glass windshield with wiper, no problem. Your dealer has no clue?

I just called my dealer & informed them of what you guys showed me. They stated, Honda doesn't recommend the soft doors with the hard top, but they will install for me. They said the top of the doors won't seal as good as with the Bimini top.

How dusty inside on gravel with the side and back windows ? I have the top and windshield and its dusty !!

With the full enclosure it's not too dusty. With just the front windshield and a top it's extremely dusty. I have a full enclosure but I'm thinking about removing the rear doors and rear panel and installing the hard mid panel. I tow mine a lot and you have to roll up the windows on the soft doors to tow it. It's a real pain in the butt to roll up all five windows. So I'm planning on buying a mid hard panel next week. I hope that cuts the dust out. So my wintertime configuration for hunting season will be a hard front windshield with windshield wiper, soft front doors and a hard mid panel. I plan on getting a half windshield and removing the doors and mid panel for the summertime.

I got a question that pertains to the back soft panel. Sorry to interfere on this thread. I am wanting to do wake tower speakers on rear roll bar and want to add the rear soft panel on a 1000-5. The speakers will hang out from the bar about 7 inches. Was wondering if there is any adjustment in the top of rear soft panel. From directions it looks like it has a top adjustment strap

I have hard roof with soft doors and soft midpanel ,worst problem with it is the hard roof sits 4 inches or better above middle roll bar and mid panel stops there so there's a 4 inch gap that I had to seal up and on the doors I had to wrap all the tubing with pipe insulation to make it even remotely air tight

It won't work. I was going to do the same thing. Ended up mid mounting my speakers. You can see them in the pic mounted to the headrest support.

I'd like to see how you have your radio mounted as well
