Setup and Installation
The Tusk Soft Upper Doors are designed for a custom fit on your Can-Am Maverick Trail. Installation requires minimal tools.
- Preparation: Ensure your UTV is parked on a level surface and the engine is off. Gather necessary tools (e.g., drill, appropriate bits, wrenches).
- Roll Cage Fitment: The doors are designed to fit directly into the channel of the Can-Am roll cage. Position the upper door frame to align with the roll cage.
- Factory Door Frame Mounting: The soft upper doors mount to the factory door frame. This process requires drilling into the factory door skin to secure the attachment points. Carefully mark and drill holes as per the included hardware instructions.
- Secure Attachment: Attach the doors quickly and securely to the existing door frames and roll cage using the provided hardware. Ensure all straps and fasteners are tight to prevent flapping during rides.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Tusk Soft Upper Doors.
- Cleaning: Clean the textile fabric with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Window Care: Clean clear vinyl windows with a soft cloth and a plastic-safe cleaner. Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or scrub vigorously, as this can cause scratching or hazing.
- Inspection: Periodically check all zippers, hook-and-loop fasteners, and mounting points for wear or damage. Ensure the powder-coated steel frames are free from rust or bends.
- Storage: If removing doors for extended periods, clean them thoroughly and store them in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
