Polaris RZR RS1 Roofs
Solo laps in August put the sun straight on your helmet, and an RS1 has no passenger side to duck behind. The center seat drops you right under the open cage. The tops on this page close that gap: Extreme Metal Products builds a laser-cut aluminum roof with a gutter formed into the front edge so runoff leaves at the sides, and UTVZILLA runs 0.09-inch powder-coated aluminum held down by anodized billet mounts. None of these is a rollover structure. What they do is block sun, rain, hail and the rocks the machine ahead of you kicks up, and the entry-level top runs $132.99.
The RS1 ran from 2018 through 2022 as a single-seat, 64-inch-wide RZR with a cage profile of its own, and that cage is what decides your roof. Tops built for two-seat RZR models generally do not carry over, so read the fitment on the listing. Extreme Metal Products and UTVZILLA both make RS1-specific roofs that mount to the stock cage with the hardware in the box, while UTV Inc adds a hand-rolled sun visor to its version. Our ownership and management team has 100+ combined years in the UTV industry, long enough to know which parts come back and which ones don't. We are the fitment experts here.

Polaris RZR RS1 Roof Build Quality: Mounts, Gauge and Hardware
Mounting is where RS1 tops separate. UTVZILLA anchors the front of its roof on anodized billet mounts rather than generic clamps, and UTV Inc includes a seal between roof and cage whose only job is stopping vibration once you are moving. Loose contact is what turns an aluminum panel into a drum.
Fasteners are the second thing to read on a listing. UTVZILLA specifies black stainless bolts and washers, which holds up on a machine parked in a yard instead of a garage. Water routing is the third. EMP formed a gutter into the front lip of its top so runoff exits at the sides, which decides whether your lap stays dry when you stop.
From the shop: buyers order by brand name more often than by cage. This page carries RS1-specific tops sitting next to one universal RZR listing, and those are not the same part. Your roof also meets the windshield at the same cage seam, so settle the RS1 windshield question at the same time.
What an RS1 Roof Costs, From Entry to Premium
Roofs are one of the cheaper ways to change how an RS1 rides. The entry point is EMP's laser-cut aluminum top at $132.99, which buys a fitted powder-coated roof with the rain gutter and nothing else. Most owners land between $177.00 and $204.24, where UTVZILLA's 0.09-inch top with billet mounts and USA build sits alongside the Tusk profile top. The premium end is UTV Inc at $297.00, and what earns the difference is the hand-rolled radius sun visor plus the cage seal, though budget for the $49.99 shared shipping charge on that listing. If you already own a metal top and want the noise gone, the Kolpin foam liner is $107.99.
Every roof here carries our risk-free 90-day return policy. On warranty: 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. You can also check our customer reviews to see how we handle it when something goes wrong.
Top 3 Polaris RZR RS1 Roof Brands
- EMP laser-cuts and CNC-forms its RS1 top from aluminum and shapes a gutter into the front edge so water sheds to the sides. Powder-coated black, and it goes on using the stock cage hardware plus what ships in the box.
- UTVZilla machines the front mounts for its RS1 roof from anodized billet instead of stamped clamps, finishes the fasteners in black stainless and builds the roof in the USA.
- Tusk sells a profile aluminum top designed to run with its own front and rear windshields as a matched set. That listing is written for Polaris RZR UTVs broadly, so confirm RS1 fitment with us before ordering.

Polaris RZR RS1 Roof FAQ
Will a two-seat RZR roof fit my RS1?
Usually not. The RS1 uses a single-seat cage that is its own shape, which is why EMP and UTVZILLA sell tops named specifically for the RS1 rather than shared RZR parts. Some listings on this page are written for Polaris RZR UTVs generally, and those need checking against your year and cage before they ship. Send us your model year and tell us whether the cage is stock, and we will confirm the part number.
Can you still get roofs for an RS1 that Polaris discontinued?
Yes. Polaris stopped building the RS1 after the 2022 model year, but the aftermarket is hundreds of manufacturers who ride these machines themselves, and they keep supporting platforms long after the showroom moves on. Every top on this page is current stock. That is the practical argument for aftermarket on a discontinued machine: the parts stay available because riders, not dealers, drive what gets built.
How do I quiet down a metal RS1 top?
Two things cause the noise. The first is mounting, so make sure every clamp and bolt in the kit is installed and torqued rather than leaving the roof resting on the cage at two contact points. The second is the panel itself, since bare aluminum drums under rain and gravel. The Kolpin 5mm foam liner sticks to the underside and takes the ring out of it, and one pad covers a non-crew roof like the RS1's.
Does an RS1 roof protect me in a rollover?
No. These are aluminum panels that mount to the cage. They block sun, rain, hail, branches and thrown debris, and none of them is rated as a rollover structure or a replacement for one. Your roll cage, harness and helmet do that job. Any roof listing that implies otherwise is overselling.
What comes in the box, and how hard is the install?
These are driveway jobs. The EMP top attaches with the stock cage hardware plus additional hardware supplied, UTVZILLA includes all required mounting hardware with black stainless bolts and washers, and UTV Inc uses stainless hardware at the front with OEM hardware at the rear. Plan on hand tools and an afternoon. Many listings carry downloadable install guides, with more added all the time.
