What’s up, guys? Today we’re going to show you how easy it is to install SuperATV’s rear seat conversion on this Polaris RZR XP 1000 in just 3 steps!
Start by opening the rear door. Reach inside and grab the latch on the back side of the seat and lift it out of the machine. It’s between the seat back and the seat itself. Grab the lever, lift it up, and you’re good to remove the seat from the machine.
Next, we will remove the seat base from our factory seat. Your hardware may look different—ours has been changed at some point. Once you’ve removed it, set the base aside.
For the next step, you will need two of the short allen-headed hardware, which is M10 x 30mm. You also need four spacers, four of the M10 x 55mm allen-headed bolts, and six flat washers. Take a short allen-headed bolt with a flat washer and a bracket and align the holes on the bracket with the holes on the rear cargo base. Go to the backside with the cutout and slide the bolt up through the bracket. Add another flat washer and apply one of the provided Nylock nuts. Finger-tighten the nut for now. Repeat this step on the opposite side.
Now take two of the long allens with two of the flat washers. Slide them up through the base and the bracket in the middle and top positions. Slide them onto your work surface to hold the bolts in place. Repeat those steps on the opposite side.
Take the four spacers and slide them over all four long allen bolts. Take the seat base that you removed from the factory seat earlier and place it over the bolts. You want to ensure the handle that will release the seat is facing the front cutout. Make sure the two notches on the seat base are aligned with the large circle cut out in the cargo area.
Take four more Nylock nuts and four more flat washers and install them over the seat base. The washers will go on the four bolts first, followed by the Nylock nuts. Finger-tighten the nuts for now. Once you’ve done that, you can fully tighten all the hardware. We’re using a 7mm socket and 6mm allen.
Now take the cover. As you can see, there’s a bracket along the bottom side. This lines up with the cutouts on the conversion kit. Drop it straight in and lock it into place by rotating it. To remove it, revers the rotation and pull it straight out.
Now repeat this entire process on the opposite side, starting with removing the seat. Then remove the base of the seat, install the brackets, and the spacers. Install the seat base, add the washers and nuts, and tighten everything completely. Don’t forget to add the cover as well.
Slide it in just like you would your seat. It’ll click loudly when it locks into place. Once you’ve got both in place, you’re done!
That’s all there is to it to install SuperATV’s rear seat conversion kit! Don’t forget to check out our other awesome upgrades for your RZR XP 1000.
