A four-seat roof spans a longer cage than a two-seat top, which means more unsupported span in the middle and more chances to rattle. Three details tell you which ones were engineered for that. First is what sits between the roof and the cage. Kolpin ships rubber seals specifically to go in between the roll cage and the roof to cut noise and wear, and SuperATV pairs thick gaskets with heavy-duty steel clamps for the same reason. A roof that lands bare metal on bare tube will find its voice by the second ride.
Second is water management. SuperATV builds drip edges into its XP 4 1000 top that channel water off the sides instead of down the door opening, and it seals the panel edges against leaks. Third is finish. Both SuperATV and UTVZILLA use UV-resistant powder coat, which is what keeps a black roof from chalking out after two summers parked outside.
From the shop: the mistake we catch most on RZR 4 orders is the Kolpin roof foam liner. One pad is cut 38 inches by 60 inches and covers a non-crew roof. A four-seat roof is longer, so a full install takes two pads. People order one, get halfway across the panel and call us. Order two and do it once.
The budget entry is UTVZILLA's four-seat aluminum roof at $148.00, and it is a real roof rather than a compromise. You get .090 powder-coated aluminum, coverage from the front edge of the stock visor past the rear roll bar, all the hardware, and a choice of black, white or red. What you do not get is a drip edge or an integrated visor.
The middle is where most RZR 4 owners land, running $210.00 to $339.95. MotoRoof's Razortex shade top sits at $210.00 with a 2-year manufacturer warranty behind it, and EMP's 3/16" polyethylene Cooter Brown top runs $339.95 for the legacy 4 800 and XP 4 900 machines. The premium end is $567.99 for Kolpin's 8-gauge panel with the integrated visor, and $641.95 to $710.95 for SuperATV's XP 4 1000 aluminum roof depending on year. What earns that money is the sealed edges, the drip edges and the mounting hardware being engineered rather than adapted.
Aftermarket roofs are built knowing you install them in your own driveway. Kolpin's goes on in under 30 minutes, and both Kolpin listings here carry downloadable install guides, with more added to listings all the time. On coverage: the most common warranty is between 3–6 months, but Everything Polaris RZR does offer extended 1- and 2-year warranties on all products if that is something you are interested in — you can add the extended warranty right at checkout. Specific manufacturer terms stack on top, like SuperATV's 3-month defect warranty and MotoRoof's 2-year coverage. Our customer service team averages 5+ years with us, so the person confirming your fitment has seen these roofs go on before. You can read what RZR owners say about our fitment help before you order.
Roof and windshield have to agree at the same seam on the cage, and Kolpin builds its roof to work with its own glass windshield, so sort out your RZR 4 windshield before or alongside the roof. If you are heading toward full weather protection, the roof is the anchor point for a RZR 4 cab enclosure.
Will a two-seat RZR roof fit my RZR 4?
No. The four-seat cage is longer front to back, and a two-seat roof leaves your rear passengers uncovered even if the front mounts line up. Every roof on this page is a four-seat part. If a listing does not say four seat or RZR 4 in the title, treat it as a two-seat top.
Do the Turbo S and Pro models need a different roof?
Yes, and this catches people. UTVZILLA's four-seat aluminum roof covers 2014-2020 XP 1000, 2015-2020 RZR 900 and 2016-2020 Turbo four-seat machines, and explicitly does not fit Turbo S or Pro cages. Pro XP, Pro R and Turbo R use different cage geometry and need tops built for them. Send us your year and model and we will confirm it before you buy.
Will a roof make the back seat quieter?
Partly, and how you mount it decides how much. Bare aluminum against a bare cage transmits noise, which is why Kolpin includes rubber seals for between the roof and the roll cage and SuperATV uses thick gaskets under its clamps. If you already run a metal roof and it drums, a 5mm foam liner on the underside is the cheap fix. Poly runs quieter than aluminum in heavy rain.
Can I install a RZR 4 roof myself?
Most people do. Kolpin quotes under 30 minutes and includes the hardware, EMP's top ships in two halves that bolt together with a gasket between them, and MotoRoof's shade top goes on with no modifications to the machine. Hand tools are enough for all three. Several listings here carry downloadable install guides, and we are adding more all the time.
Will a roof keep rain out of the cab?
It keeps rain off your head and shoulders, and the better ones manage where the water goes. SuperATV's drip edges channel runoff away from the cab rather than into the door opening. What no roof does on its own is close the sides, so in a real storm you want doors or a cab enclosure with it. A mesh shade top blocks sun rather than water.
