Hisun 500 Soft Cab Enclosure Upper Doors — Need Advice

[jamesxevan]

I’ve been eyeing a Hisun 500 soft cab enclosure upper doors setup for my UTV, but I’m really not sure if it’s a smart move. The idea of doors and some protection sounds appealing, but I worry they might just be a flimsy afterthought — weak zippers, thin plastic windows, maybe leaking or fogging when wet or cold. What good is “protection” if it doesn’t seal well? Also concerned about ventilation: with soft doors, does the cab get too muggy or stuffy?
Anyone here use soft-cab doors on a Hisun 500 — did they actually hold up for real riding conditions, or did you end up ditching them for hard doors (or no doors)?

I have a soft top jeep with zippers on the back & rear windows, works fine. My problem with the soft uppers on a Hisun is not only are they ugly but they are way overpriced. I contacted a local authorized brand dealership. They can order or tell you if other models have parts that can fit yours. Surprisingly, the cost of the hard uppers with a sliding window and seal gasket was not much different from the soft doors. I have a 2025 Hisun Axis 750. Hard to find info on hard uppers until I contacted dealer. They come in a solid or sliding window built in. Look awesome not cheap looking, like a dern armored vehicle. I recommend the tinted sliding glass.

I think but could be wrong but I believe with Hisun the name Stryker & Axis is the only difference. Same machine but Stryker is sold at an authorized dealer/service & Axis is sold by authorized dealer without service like Lowe’s. I’ve heard some call Hisun a Chinese Rhino clone & those parts are commonly known to fit. Your local service dealer can answer all those types of questions. Good luck with whatever you decide, hope I was helpful.

I have the soft upper doors on my Stryker 750x. Keeps the cold wind and rain out just fine. Vinyl windows get rolled down and are strapped to lower portion. The sliding glass window is more than twice the cost, and if you look at the picture you will notice that the window only slides about halfway back. I would not be able to get my mail out of my mailbox like that. It is true that the soft upper will not last as long depending on how it is stored, but the larger opening is much more desirable from my point of view. I have no regrets going CHEAP, they keep me dry. One note I would like to make. These do not just pop right on. There is somewhat of a challenge to get the weather strip on properly and to align the upper assembly so the door will close properly. Make sure the door closes correctly before installing any of the uppers.

The hard uppers aren’t cheap around $650 a set and there’s a 2 month back order. I was not able to find any other way to order the sliding glass or solid option but through a dealership.

The soft uppers (picture attached) are expensive as well depending on where they’re ordered. Lowe’s has them for $550 a set but Amazon has them from $300 on down to under $100.

Personally I don’t consider doors an accessory. Should have came with the machine. I’ll probably machine my own doors and bolt some plexiglass to a metal frame. I’ll just have to open my door to check the mail, lol.
