What’s up, guys? Today, we’ll show you how easy it is to install SuperATV’s rear sliding rear windshield on a Polaris General XP 1000. Let’s get right to it.

1) Unbox Your Goodies

The first thing you need to do is remove all the contents from their packaging. Don’t forget to make sure you have everything you need—this could save you a serious headache down the line. Take the rear windshield and align it with your machine to check the fit. Once you’ve done that and the windshield looks like a good fit, you can remove the protective film.

Brandon peels the green protective plastic off both sides of the windshield.
Don’t forget to get the film off the backside too.

2) Prep the Windshield

The next thing you’ll do after removing the protective film is grab the bulb seals. You should have a straight seal that will go along the bottom lip. It will run across the entire bottom of the rear windshield.

Using nitrile gloves, Brandon installs the bulb seal along the sides of the windshield.
Nitrile gloves help keep fingerprints off the poly, but they aren’t required. Just preferred.

Once you’ve done that, take the 90-degree bulb seal and start on either the left or right side of the windshield. Apply it around the remaining uncovered edges of the windshield and stop on the opposite side. Once you’re finished, cut off the excess seal.

Trip the bulb seal down the the appropriate length.
This step can take some persistence sometimes.

Now you need the cage seal from the kit. Apply it along the rear bar on the cage. We will start at one side and run it all the way across.

Brandon takes his time to apply the cage seal so that he gets a smooth, even application.
Slow and steady.

The next step is applying the brackets. Take the brackets from the kit and install them on the inside of the windshield. You will use our M6 hardware with an M6 Nylock nut. Slide the hardware from the outside to the inside. Then start tightening, but not completely. We don’t want to tighten anything fully just yet. Once we have the lower brackets installed we will install the windshield on the machine.

Brandon finger-tightens the nuts to hold the brackets in place.
Don’t fully tighten the hardware just yet.

3) Install the Windshield

Brandon installs the windshield over the rear of the UTV in front of the bed.
Align the brackets with the rear bar on the cage.

The lower brackets should be over top of the rear bar on the cage. Take the upper bracket and reach through the rear window. Slide the hardware through the windshield and line it up with the bracket, then align the bracket with the cage. Then start tightening the nut onto the hardware, but just finger-tight.

Reach through the window to tighten the nut on the top screw.
A bit of finesse may be required.

We got help from a friend for the next part. It’s always helpful to have an extra hand when installing these rear brackets because you have to reach through, tighten the nut, and push it all together at the same time. It’s difficult by yourself.

Two people work together to installs screws on the outside edges of the windshield.

Once you have all the hardware in place, go ahead and fully tighten all of it.

When the hardware is fully tightened, you’re done installing SuperATV’s sliding rear windshield on a Polaris General XP 1000. Don’t forget to checkout our other awesome accessories for your rig! See you on the trail.
