Just wanted to post my experience with the Polaris plastic vs metal roof. I thought the plastic roof would accomplish what I needed for my 2015 4 seat 900… provide me with some shade and be durable enough to last the life of the rzr. After the first ride, I found that the two rear metal hooks that lock the roof onto roll cage were hanging loose. Upon further inspection, where they attach to the plastic roof, the plastic had cracked. This in itself isn’t terrible as the roof does an excellent job of holding itself on with just the main plastic pieces that snap around the roll cage. On my second ride out, I noticed the roof constantly creaked and squeaked as the roll bar flexed and was quite annoying to listen to.

Fortunately my dealer contacted Polaris who said that they would warranty the roof (it and the RZR were only 3 weeks old at this point). The dealer took back the plastic roof and I paid the difference to get the metal roof.

The metal roof looks and is built much better. There is a nice piece of foam between the roof and the roll bar, and the bolts have a rubber washer under the metal washer to prevent any rattles. The roof has performed much better and hasn’t shown any sign of wear so far.

If I were to do it all over again, I would spend the extra money in the beginning and get the metal roof.
