So I got my back panel, roof, and SATV flip out installed last night. Man, that windshield was a little tricky installing alone, but its is on there. It does however slightly touch the Honda factory roof at full open. I ran out of time trying to adjust that out of it last night, but don't think I can lower it anymore. Did anyone have this issue? How did you address it? I adjusted the roof up as far as possible. Thinking I may have to put some washers in around the front center roof clamps to space it up a little?

I installed 2 of them on my rigs and have not had them touching the roof. Maybe someone else has had this problem.

I have the same issue as you, I haven't done anything yet. I was thinking about adding spacers in between the roof clamps. Windshield is adjusted as low as possible. I bought the window in January.

I don’t have that problem at all. 🤔
I just added longer bolts thru the roof to the center two clamps. They are 25mm long. 30mm woulda been better. I stacked two black zinc plated nuts between those clamp brackets and the roof. I now have about 3/8 to 1/2 in between the windshield and roof. Don’t know it that will work when going down the road. I don’t like it but it works and is a temporary solution so I can ride some and try out the new machine this evening. Gonna get started on the Honda door install tonight. Kinda dreading that.

I just checked mine and have well over a inch of room. I cant make mine hit even when trying to over extend the windshield. I'm betting u have a bracket or something backwards.
Thanks for the pic. I have nowhere near that even when spacing the roof. Hell, I may have a roof bracket oriented the wrong way. I tried to follow the pics on the instructions but may have got one off. I figured they were right. The roof followed the ROPS above the door openings nicely. Didn’t pull like it was in a bind anywhere. I’ll take some pics of what I’ve got when we get back from our maiden voyage and you all can tell me if this looks right. I appreciate the help and info.

Yeah I do not have that problem on mine either. Not really even close.
Here are my roof clamps..
These are the two center front. Pics are taken from the seat in the driving position.

Roof/windshield clearance with 1/2 inch of spacer...
Hopefully y’all can tell me that I have mounted something improperly.
Then we can talk about the “whah whah whah whah” noise from the ass end at 25-30mph. Feels like I have a warped wheel or severely out of round or out of balance tire above 25. Shakey. I thought maybe flat spots in tires where it is a 2018 left over? Or maybe the toe (doesn’t look bad tho. Told them to check before pickup.)

My 1000 is like @TripleB's.
But I did a 700 and rubbed like yours.
For a solution. I ended up cutting off this little lip.
If I didnt tell you, you would not even notice it.

Question, why would some folk have the clearance issue and others don't? Mine has plenty of clearance and frankly, I don't see how it would be different for anyone. Aren't all of these things built the same?

The roof manufacturing is sloppy imo. The passenger side of the section they @Hondasxs recommended trimming is obviously lower visibly shows more material. The passenger side of the roof leaves the ROPS visible. The drivers side roof, however, hangs below the ROPS, interfering with the closure and opening of the door.
I have no doubts that this is a mechanically superior machine to other brands. It is also fit and finished with superior materials. How the hell can Honda build a fine a product as this and drip the ball so bad on fitment off cab accessories?
My two buddies drive Rangers and they are not even in the same league in any category.... other than accessory fitment. Is it that hard? Hell, copy Polaris!

Its worth checking that the roof is installed correctly.
Bracket in wrong location and backwards clamps are the usualy problems.
The instructions are crap so its easy to get it the brackets mixed up. Several dealer installed roofs haven been wrong and there fix was to bend the brackets and force a fit.
Ill find a helpful post on this.

P1000 - Honda Roof + SuperATV Flip Up Windshield Clamp Question
Hi All, New here so bare with me. Pioneer 1000-5 DLX Are the OM Honda Hard Roof Clamps the least bit adjustable as far as sliding them horizontally on the roll bar towards center to accommodate SuperATV Clamps for flip up windshield? It looks like the clamps for windshield do not have enough...
