Yamaha YXZ Cab Enclosures
A YXZ1000R at speed pulls a rooster tail of dust and cold air straight through the cockpit, and by the third hour of a November ride you are working that sequential gearbox with hands that have stopped cooperating. Closing in the sides is the fix, and it starts at $314 for a pair of Greene Mountain side enclosures in 600 denier PVC-backed polyester, with a clear acrylic window sewn into the upper section of each door. We have been the go-to online shop for aftermarket UTV parts since 2010, back when the Yamaha Rhino was the talk of the UTV world.
Every kit here is a soft partial enclosure, the honest shape of this category on a sport car: sides, or sides and a rear panel. Nothing closes the front or the top, so plan the cab in layers. Greene Mountain builds both side-enclosure kits for the YXZ1000R and they zip fully off for summer, and 3 Star Industries makes the one door and rear window combo, cut for 2016-2018 machines and built to run with a hard windshield and hard top you supply. Add a YXZ windshield up front and a YXZ roof overhead, and the enclosure has something to seal against. Tell us your year and what is already on the cage.

BUYER'S GUIDE: How to Choose Yamaha YXZ Cab Enclosures
One fact shapes this page. Every YXZ cab enclosure in the catalog is a soft partial kit, so the useful question is not soft or hard, it is which openings you close and what each layer costs. The table sorts the page that way.
Closing In a YXZ Cockpit, One Layer at a Time
| Layer | Material and specs | Best for | What you give up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side enclosures | 600 denier PVC-backed polyester, clear automotive-grade acrylic upper window, full-length double-pull zippers, self-adhesive Velcro, made in USA, $314 a pair | Cutting side wind and spray on a YXZ that already runs a windshield and a top | Sides only. The front, the rear and overhead stay open |
| Side enclosures with rear Windjammer | Same 600 denier shell with a removable upper section, plus a rear panel for $145 more, $379.95 to $524.95 | Stopping the dust and snow that rolls in behind the seats at speed | Still needs your windshield and roof, and the rear panel is most of the added cost |
| Door and rear window combo | 100 percent marine-grade acrylic-coated polyester, 30-gauge smoked vinyl in the doors and back panel, heavy-duty YKK metal zippers, $612.95 to $661.95 | A 2016-2018 machine already running a hard windshield and a hard top | 2016-2018 fitment only, and you supply the windshield and the top |
| Cab heat | 16,000 to 18,000 BTU cores with SPAL blowers, defrost and floor louvers, hidden direct-fit mounting, $427 to $534.95 | Making a closed-in YXZ usable well below freezing | Heat pours straight out of an open cockpit, so it only pays after the sides are on |
Fabric, Windows and Zippers: What Holds Up on a Sport Machine
The shell is the spec that matters most. Greene Mountain runs a 600 denier PVC-backed polyester, a coated fabric rather than a plain woven one, and the window is automotive-grade clear flexible acrylic sewn into the upper door instead of a loose flap. 3 Star takes the marine route with 100 percent acrylic-coated polyester rated water repellent, tear resistant, puncture resistant, UV and mildew resistant, behind 30-gauge smoked vinyl. Thirty gauge is thick vinyl, and thicker vinyl hazes slower. Then check the zipper, because that is what fails first on cheap enclosures. Both Greene Mountain kits use full-length double-pull zippers so a door opens from the top or the bottom, and 3 Star specifies heavy-duty YKK metal. Every kit here mounts on self-adhesive Velcro rather than screws, which keeps holes out of the cage and lets the panels strip off in minutes, and it ships with installation and care instructions. Prep decides whether it holds. Clean the surfaces, work somewhere warm instead of a cold garage, and let the adhesive set before you hang weight on it. The adhesive can lift graphics if you pull a panel back off, so place it once and place it right.
Budgeting a YXZ Cab: $314 for Sides, $662 With the Rear Closed
The entry point is $314 for the Greene Mountain side enclosures, a driver and passenger pair of zip-off upper doors with the acrylic window built in. On a machine that already wears a windshield and a top, that one purchase closes the two biggest openings, which is why it outsells everything here.
The middle, and where most YXZ owners land, is $379.95 to $524.95 for the Greene Mountain Outdoors version. Same shell, but the top section of the door comes off on its own, and the rear Windjammer panel is a $145 option that closes the back of the cockpit.
The top is the 3 Star Industries door and rear window combo at $612.95 to $661.95, in black or Mossy Oak New Break-Up camo, with an optional zip-out rear window for warm days. The most finished kit here, and the most weather-tested fabric.
Heat is priced separately, from $427 for an 18,000 BTU Inferno kit to $534.95 for a 16,000 BTU Moose. Every enclosure here carries a risk-free 90-day return, and most items ship within 24 hours, with any exceptions showing a lead time on the product page. The most common warranty is between 3-6 months, but Everything Yamaha Offroad does offer extended 1- and 2-year warranties on all products if that is something you are interested in, and you can add the extended warranty right at checkout.

Yamaha YXZ Cab Enclosure FAQ
Does a YXZ cab enclosure include the windshield and roof?
No. Every kit here is a soft partial enclosure, so you get sides, or sides and a rear panel, and you supply the front and the top. The Greene Mountain kits work with a soft top and integrate with most manufacturers' hard tops, and the 3 Star combo installs with any hard windshield and hard top. If your YXZ is still open, say so and we will spec all three pieces together.
Which years does each kit fit?
The year filter runs 2016 through 2026, but the kits do not all cover it. The 3 Star door and rear window combo is cut for 2016-2018 machines only, and that is the most common mistake we see in this category, because the listing reads YXZ and the buyer has a 2022. Send us your year and we will confirm before you order.
Do I need a cab heater too?
Only after the cockpit is closed in, because a heater in an open YXZ is fighting the wind and losing. Once the sides and rear are on, an 18,000 BTU Inferno kit or a 16,000 BTU Moose kit puts real heat and defrost into a cab that can hold it. The full YXZ heater selection is one click away.
Does Yamaha make a factory cab for the YXZ?
No. A YXZ leaves the showroom open, and weather protection for a sport car like this comes entirely from the aftermarket, from builders who ride these machines themselves. That is why you can choose a $314 pair of zip-off doors or a $662 marine-canvas door and rear panel combo instead of one factory part at one price.
