Getting read to purchase a roof for my P5. I'm not sure weather to go with the soft roof or the hard one. I have the superatv windshield installed and I'm not sure how either one of these roofs fit with this windshield. Any recommendations ?

Most of my riding has been where trails go through trees and I have hit my hard roof on many branches without a single problem. I'm not sure but I would have never thought a soft top would have held up.

Hard roof is awesome don't have to take it off to trailer and you can mount stuff to it.

I would go with the hard roof also. We ride some deep woods and I feel a soft roof would get torn up too easy.

I have the Moose hard roof (got it off eBay for about $130)
Seems tough, skidded it along a tree at a sharp angle and didn't leave a mark on it. I would buy it again

Do you have a windshield Code? By the pictures i've seen of the moose hard roof it looks like there would be about 2 or 3 inch gap between the roof and the windshield.

I do not have the windshield yet, been going to order one from Super ATV but the Power steering upgrade put that on hold for a little bit.....
Not sure if it will gap or not. I really liked the lower profile of the Moose roof but may have a small issue to fix with the windshield at a later time. Hopefully someone has both and can chime in.
