Polaris General Doors
The General is the machine you take from a fast trail loop in the morning to hauling firewood across the back forty by afternoon, and the first cold, wet ride is usually when you decide the open cab needs to close. Aftermarket General doors are how you do it: powder-coated steel framed uppers from Spike and Tusk that seal against the cage, ballistic-fabric soft uppers that pull off in minutes for summer, and full SuperATV cab doors built from 1/4-inch hard-coated polycarbonate on a tubular steel frame for a sealed cab you can run in a January whiteout. We are based in Wisconsin, so we winter our own machines, and cold-weather gear like this is personal experience here, not catalog copy.
Fitment starts with your cab. The 2-seat General 1000 and XP 1000 take different door kits than the 4-seat General 4 and XP 4, because the General 4's rear openings are shorter than the fronts, so seat count decides the kit before anything else. Year matters too, since a few framed kits fit 2019-and-earlier Generals and not the later cab, and every listing on this page names the exact models and years it covers. Tusk, Seizmik and SuperATV all build General-specific doors here. We are the fitment experts, so text (920) 644-5280, call (920) 214-8135 or hit the live chat on any page and we will match doors to your exact machine before you spend a dollar.

BUYER'S GUIDE: How to Choose Polaris General Doors
The General sits in its own space between a work Ranger and a sport RZR, and its door choice follows the same split. You can seal just the top of the cab with upper doors, close the floor line with half or lower doors, or swap the whole opening for full cab doors. Most General owners start with uppers, which is why the live catalog runs 15 upper-door listings and 12 soft-door listings against a handful of full and lower kits. Here is how the routes compare.
| Door type | Build and materials | Best for | What you give up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft upper doors | Marine-grade fabric or ballistic textile uppers with zippered windows (Tusk, Kemimoto, SideXSide), roughly $228 to $430 | Quick, affordable weather and debris protection up top, on and off in minutes | Fabric flexes and scratches, and the lower cab stays open |
| Framed upper doors | Powder-coated steel frame with a bulb seal and roll-down window (Spike, Tusk, Seizmik), about $390 to $865 | A sealed, rattle-resistant upper that keeps its shape in cold and wind | Heavier than soft uppers, and most require drilling to mount |
| Hard upper doors | 1/4-inch hard-coated polycarbonate uppers, clear and scratch-resistant (Sport Concept, SuperATV), around $693 to $928 | Durable clear visibility and a hard seal for winter riding | The top end of upper-door pricing, and lowers stay open unless paired |
| Half and lower doors | Panels and hardware that close the lower opening and the factory gap (AJK hardware, lower kits) | Stopping mud, rock and roost at the floor line while the cab stays open up top | No protection above the waist |
| Full cab doors | 1/4-inch hard-coated polycarbonate on a 3/4-inch tubular steel frame, gas struts and key-locking latches (SuperATV), $2,326.95 and up | A top-to-bottom sealed cab for year-round property work and hard winters | The biggest spend, and a few inches of added cab width |
General Door Build Quality: What the Good Kits Get Right
Doors earn their price in the parts you stop noticing. On soft and framed uppers the seal is the whole job, so look for an automotive bulb seal like the one on the Spike framed kit, not just a strip of foam, because that is what keeps wind and cold out once the panel is shut. The frame matters just as much. Powder-coated steel tubing, the kind Tusk uses and cold-crack tests to -15°F, holds its shape and its seal where thin fabric alone flexes and lets weather in. On hard doors the material is the tell. SuperATV builds its full cab doors from 1/4-inch hard-coated polycarbonate rated 250x stronger than glass, with a scratch-resistant coating so the panel you look through does not haze over after a season. The doors that come back to our return desk are almost always the cheapest soft kits, where a light-gauge frame and a weak zipper gave out in the first hard winter, so on a General this is the category where paying for a real seal and a real frame pays you back.
What You'll Spend on General Doors, Low to High
General door pricing sorts cleanly by type. The budget-friendly entry point is soft upper doors, from about $227.99 for Kemimoto uppers to $389.48 for the Tusk soft set, and what you honestly get is quick weather and debris protection up top that comes off for summer. The sweet spot, where most General owners land, is framed and hard upper doors between roughly $390 and $865: the Spike framed kit at $712.45 and the Tusk General 4 framed set at $731.49 give you a sealed, bulb-sealed upper with most of the quality built in, and the live grid shows the heaviest cluster of kits sitting in that mid-to-upper band. The premium option is a full SuperATV cab enclosure from $2,326.95, and what earns the price is the 1/4-inch polycarbonate, the steel frame and the gas struts that turn an open General into a sealed, year-round cab. The most common warranty is between 3-6 months, but Everything Polaris Ranger 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. Financing is available through Affirm at checkout on the full-cab kits, and you can see what General and Ranger owners think in our 4.7-star rating across 19,000-plus reviews before you buy.

Polaris General Door FAQ
Will Polaris Ranger or RZR doors fit my General?
No. The General runs a narrower, lower cab than a full-size Ranger and a different one from the RZR, with its own door openings and mounting points, so a kit listed for the Ranger or the RZR will not fit. Look for doors listed for the General XP 1000, General 1000, or General 4, and if you are not sure which cab you have, text us the year and model and we will confirm it.
What is different about General 4 doors versus 2-seat General doors?
Seat count changes the whole kit. The 4-seat General 4 and XP 4 have a second row, and their rear openings are shorter than the fronts, so a 2-seat kit will not cover them. Tusk, Falcon Ridge and 3 Star all build true 4-door sets for the General 4, so confirm the kit includes properly sized rear doors and is not just front doors sold as a set. Year matters too, because a few framed kits fit 2019-and-earlier Generals and not the later cab.
Do General doors require drilling to install?
It depends on the type, and here is what it depends on. Most framed upper kits like the Spike set, and some soft uppers like the Tusk doors that mount to the factory door skin, do require drilling. The SideXSide upper doors offer a no-drill option with Velcro or self-adhesive snaps. Full cab doors from SuperATV bolt to the cage and use the supplied hardware. Every product page lists its install method, so check it before you buy, or ask us and we will confirm.
Soft, framed, hard or full cab, which General doors should I get?
It comes down to how you ride and how cold it gets. If you mostly run trails and want the open-air feel back for summer, soft upper doors with a quick-release mount are the easy call. If you work the General through winter, framed or hard uppers give you a sealed, rattle-resistant top that holds its shape, and when you want to close the cab end to end they pair with a full General cab enclosure. If you run the machine for serious property work year-round, full cab doors seal it top to bottom.
Are aftermarket General doors as good as factory doors?
Polaris offers very few door options for the General, so the aftermarket is where the real choice is. You get soft, framed, hard and full cab doors across brands like Tusk, Spike, Seizmik and SuperATV, usually below dealer pricing, in materials the factory never offered. Many meet or beat what the OEM sells, and SuperATV builds its full cab doors from 1/4-inch hard-coated polycarbonate rated 250x stronger than glass. The honest catch is fitment, so match your seat count and year and you get factory-level protection with far more to choose from.
