I picked up my brand new 700/4 and love it
I have the full roof and split windshield and winch installed by dealer
Seems to have a loud squeak and rattles , not sure where it is coming from
It seems to go area at higher speeds
Also seems to start hard in colder weather ,any suggestions
Thanks

Rattles and squeaks could be the doors. I had to adjust all of mine. Their is a little rubber stopper that goes in and out

I have the same setup and my dealer installed window squeaks too. Had it out last weekend and noticed a few loose bolts. But even with everything right it still squeaks. It was down in the lower 20's this past weekend and did notice the battery drug a little on the first start.

check all the bolts on the roll cage mine were loose and rattling when I got it. also bed tilt latches need to be lube periodically.

I have the glass windshield and when it's rough and the terrain is flexing the whole machine it creaks like a house in a horror movie. It's just the nature of plastic.

The factory battery does NOT do well if you have any extra accessories especially a winch.

I put black electrical tape on the latches seems to last a lot longer than grease. Still have to replace it, but helps with rattles too not just squeaks. You can carry a roll around so if it starts up again and it won't leak everywhere.

I have no noise from windshield area, but have had to adjust doors and tilt bed latches periodically on my 2p.
