I like that a lot! How easy on and off? I have the fabric mid panel, but I'd hate to isolate any passengers in the back with that so it'd have to come off if I had passengers (not very often).

Would probably take 1/2 hr to get it off it’s a little bulky . Don’t think it’s something you want to take off and on often. Had to loosen 5 bolts that hold back of front seat so panel can slide in. I have oem hard top and had to lift it up to get rear panel to fit. Am thinking about rear soft panel for summer when I would have passengers in back seats and use hard mid panel for winter.

Ah, that'd be a deal breaker for me then. My soft mid panel has been good, and I like that it can be rolled up. More than likely I'll keep it on year round. I was hoping the hard panel would be a quick on/off like on the Ranger.

The exact reason I didn’t put one on my 1000 my 700 had it and it was basically impossible to get off without some disassembly. Also limited visibility. The soft one comes off or goes on in about 10mins and even in 10degree weather keeps me pretty comfy even without a heater.

Soft doors and glass windshield can be installed and removed in about 30mins total. If your in really cold weather or blowing snow I might consider it as a winter mode, but it’s not an easy switch.

Honda OEM soft panel. Been quite happy with it, and did leave it on all year. I did have it rolled up all summer long, and back in late Nov, I rolled it back down and put my soft door panels back on. Been great.
