UTV Doors

What is in this category

Every listing here comes from Pro Armor, which makes accessories for side-by-sides. Items include full door pieces, lower inserts that fill the gap beneath the door opening, aluminum door skins and graphics kits that cover door panels with color.

Because the vehicles are very specific, models listed with names like 2018 XP 1000 or XP4 matter.

Door styles

Common styles here:

• Traditional half doors cover the lower part of the opening, keeping the view open and airflow flowing.
• Stealth doors have a more shaped, close-fitting design.
• Lower door inserts fill the gap in the factory opening to keep out debris, mud and rocks.
• Aluminum skins provide a stronger, hard surface for front and rear doors.
• Graphics are decal kits for the door and insert panels, with names like Turbo, Velocity Blue, Black Pearl and White Lightning.

What to check before choosing

Several things decide whether a piece is right:

• Model and model year, since graphics are matched to the year and trim of the machine.
• Number of doors, two-seat versus four-seat, and front versus rear.
• Whether the product is a graphic only or includes a physical door or insert.
• Color and finish, including matte versus gloss.

Several listings in this category are marked universal fit, but UTV body panels differ widely by model, so verify compatibility for your machine.

Safety and installation

Doors can help keep branches, rocks and debris out of the cab, but they are not a replacement for the machine's occupant restraints, nets and roll cage. Always wear a helmet, seat belt and the safety gear the manufacturer recommends.

Install graphics on clean, dry, warm surfaces, and use a squeegee to avoid bubbles. Mount doors with the supplied hardware and check latches and hinges for smooth operation. Confirm fitment for your exact year, make, model and seat configuration, and check the manufacturer's specifications. Equipment and registration rules for UTVs vary by state and trail system, so check local regulations.

Compare the part numbers in each title carefully. Pro Armor part numbers tie to a model year and trim, so two listings that look similar can fit different machines. When in doubt, match the number to the manufacturer's application chart.

Care and mistakes to avoid

UTV doors and inserts take a beating from rocks, branches and mud. Wash them regularly with mild soap, since dried clay can scratch graphics and trap moisture. Avoid pressure washers aimed at the edges of decals, which can lift them, and use a plastic-safe cleaner on any plastic panels.

• Inspect hinges, latches and mounting hardware after every few rides, and use thread locker where the manufacturer advises.
• Keep sharp debris out of the gap between the door and the frame.
• Do not remove stock safety features, such as side nets or a latch, when fitting an aftermarket door unless the manufacturer says it is acceptable.
• Store the machine out of strong sun if you can, since UV fades graphics and makes plastic brittle over time.

Take photos of the original door setup before removing anything, since they make reassembly and warranty questions easier to sort out.
