Yamaha Viking Roofs
By one in the afternoon in July, a Viking with no roof is a griddle, and crew output drops with every hour in the direct sun. Come back in October and it is cold rain running down the back of your neck instead. A roof is the cheapest fix for both, and on the Viking it runs from a $98 strap-on fabric cap to a $1,399 powder-coated steel top that mounts lights and lasts for years. We have sold aftermarket UTV parts since 2010, back when the Rhino and Ranger 700 ruled the trail, so the tops here are the ones that hold their shape and their color after a few hard summers. Everything Yamaha Offroad stocks roofs for both the standard Viking and the longer six-seat Viking VI.
Roofs fit by cab length, so the three-seat Viking and the six-seat Viking VI take different tops, and a crew VI needs the longer roof to cover both rows. Most caps and soft tops fit the 2014-current Viking, and universal accessories like the foam liner and the roof fan fit either machine, though a crew roof takes two liner pads. A roof is the first piece of an enclosed cab. Add a windshield up front and doors on the sides to close it in, or wrap the whole thing into a cab enclosure. Tell us your model and seat count.

BUYER'S GUIDE: How to Choose Yamaha Viking Roofs
A roof is a simpler buy than doors, and it comes down to how much you want to spend and how long you want it to last. A fabric cap or soft top blocks sun and rain for a little money and next to no weight. A hard metal roof costs more but shrugs off years of weather, stays silent with a liner and gives you a place to bolt lights and audio. Then there are the add-ons, insulation and a powered fan, that make either one more comfortable. Here is how the options stack up.
Viking Roof Options at a Glance
| Roof type | Material | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fabric top cap | 600-denier UV-stabilized polyester, straps to the roll bar | Shade and light rain, the lightest and cheapest cover | $98–$174 |
| Soft top | Marine-grade polyester, velcro or zip attach | Sun and rain on a budget, front or rear coverage | $137–$425 |
| Hard metal roof | 14-gauge steel or 11-gauge aluminum, powder-coated, U-bolt mount | All-season durability, silent with a liner, mounts lights and audio | $748–$5,596 |
| Roof accessories | 5mm foam liner, 240 CFM roof fan, mesh sunshade | Cutting heat and rain drum, adding airflow, blocking sun | $108–$529 |
What You're Really Buying in a Viking Roof
On a fabric cap or soft top, the material rating is the whole story. Greene Mountain uses 600-denier UV-stabilized polyester, 3 Star runs a marine-grade polyester that resists tearing, mildew and UV, and both strap or velcro to the roll bar in minutes. Thin, unrated fabric fades and splits after a season, so the denier and the UV rating are worth reading. On a hard roof the numbers move to the metal: Ranch Armor builds a one-piece 14-gauge steel shell, with an 11-gauge aluminum upgrade if you want to drop weight, on a steel angle-iron sub-frame with a textured powder coat and rain gutters front and rear. It mounts with U-bolts and, in their words, sits 100 percent silent. One thing every hard-roof owner learns fast: bare steel or aluminum drums in the rain and radiates heat in the sun. The fix is a $107.99 Kolpin 5mm foam liner, which is exactly why it is one of the best-selling roof items on this page. A crew Viking VI roof takes two liner pads to cover the full length.
What a Viking Roof Costs, Cap to Metal
The cheap, light end is fabric. A standard Viking top cap is $98.40, the six-seat Viking VI cap is $174.00, and a 3 Star full soft top is $136.95. That is real sun and rain protection for the price of a tank of fuel and a lunch.
The middle covers the add-ons and the bigger soft tops. The Kolpin foam liner is $107.99, a UTV Mountain rear soft top runs $360.00 to $425.00, and the SuperATV roof fan is $528.95 for 240 CFM of powered airflow. These are the pieces that turn a basic top into a comfortable one.
The top end is hard metal, and it is where a roof becomes a decade-long fixture. The Ranch Armor 14-gauge steel roof is $1,399.00, and the aluminum top ladder runs $2,399.00 up to $5,596.00 depending on cab length and the lighting and audio packages. A Viking VI single-cab metal top spans $899.00 to $3,687.00 as you add options.
Most roofs carry a 90-day return, and Everything Yamaha Offroad does offer extended 1- and 2-year warranties on all products if that is something you are interested in, added right at checkout. Financing through Affirm is available at checkout, which is worth knowing on the metal and aluminum tops that climb past $1,000. Building out a cab you are proud of?

Yamaha Viking Roof FAQ
Does the Viking use the same roof as the Viking VI?
No. Roofs fit by cab length, so the three-seat Viking takes a shorter top and the six-seat Viking VI takes a longer one that covers both rows. Greene Mountain and Ranch Armor make separate cuts for each. Universal add-ons like the foam liner and the roof fan fit either machine, though a crew VI roof needs two foam-liner pads. Send us your model and seat count and we will confirm the fit.
Fabric cap, soft top, or hard metal roof?
A fabric cap or soft top is light, cheap and quick to strap on, and it blocks sun and rain, which is all many owners need. A hard metal roof costs more but takes years of weather, stays silent once a foam liner is in, and gives you a solid surface to mount lights, a light bar or audio. Pick fabric for budget and simplicity, metal for durability and mounting.
What is the best roof for a Yamaha Viking?
It depends on budget and how long you want it to last. The best-selling value pick is the Greene Mountain top cap at $98.40 for the Viking or $174.00 for the VI. For all-season durability, the Ranch Armor 14-gauge steel roof at $1,399.00 leads, with the aluminum top going up to $5,596.00 fully optioned. Whatever metal roof you choose, add a Kolpin foam liner.
Why is my metal roof so loud and hot?
Bare steel or aluminum drums under rain and radiates the sun's heat straight into the cab. The fix is a 5mm adhesive foam liner, like the Kolpin, applied to the underside. It deadens the drum, blocks a lot of the heat and cleans up the look. On hot, still days a 240 CFM roof fan moves that trapped air and makes a real difference on long work sessions.
Does a roof work with doors and a windshield?
Yes, a roof is the top of the same cab system. A roof alone blocks sun and rain from above while the sides stay open, so add a windshield up front and doors on the sides, or a full cab enclosure, to seal the cab. Once it is closed in, a heater will actually hold its warmth for winter work.
