Picked up the factory plastic canopy on Saturday for our new-to-us RTV 1140. We kept the old plexiglass windshield from our Mule and recut it to fit the RTV. After 11 years, the plexiglass is fine. We used a special blade for plastic in the jig saw and taped the windshield where it was to be cut. Worked out very well. The clamps for the windshield are 2" stainless with a rubber liner. I found these online. I believe they were made for electrical conduit. The mirrors I had laying around. I re painted them with bedliner to match the canopy. They are attached using the same clamps as the windshield.

I made a brief before/after video showing some of the details that I would have liked to have seen prior to buying the unit. Enjoy.

Thanks, all! It was a good project for a dreary day. Definitely a two-person job to hold/measure/clamp/tighten bolts from two sides, etc. My dad was able to come out and give a hand, it is always nice to work on a project with him.

Taping the plexiglass prior to cutting made a huge difference in cut quality.

BCZOOM - it is a tight fit through the 84" door, about 1.5-2" clearance with the canopy installed.

Next up will be the overhead console for AM/FM, switches, CB/WX radio and some lights. Will post an update when I am finished with it (probably in April).
