I know there have been tons of threads talking about dust over the years and I know dust is inevitable but I have a unique issue right now.

Dust was never an issue with my 2 seaters but my last 2 rigs have been 4 seaters. My XP4 had a full front and rear windshield with full doors and you would get dusty even if you were by yourself but it wasn't horrendous. My Pro has full windshield with vents, full rear window, adjustable vents on the roof, extension on the lower side of the front doors. My issue is the rear seats (my kids) get covered. At speed I can look back and see it billowing in on them from every gap around the doors.

Has anyone had a similar issue? fixes?

I'm thinking of trying brush seals on the doors to eliminate or reduce any gap for the dust to find its way in.

My buddy has a 2020 XP2 and he had both a front and rear windshield and I finally convinced him to remove both windshields and he saw a night and day difference. I have heard that the Tusk Wing Vent Kit For POLARIS RZR Pro XP does work very well for the Pro-XP4:

 

Dust? OMG the dust coming from the rear on my 2021 Pro XP 4 is horrendous! I have the Polaris full windshield, Polaris bed storage boxes and the Polaris spare tire carrier over the bed. It seems like at speeds greater than 30 mph is when dust starts coming in the rear interior area. I'm getting so much dust that my S&B Particle Seperator just can't handle all the dust. I'm currently working with S&B for a fix for this problem. Their support has been fantastic. The last fix was S&B actually came to my house and replaced the complete unit. I'm in testing right now to see if that fixes the problem.

I sure hope someone has a fix to this problem. As per my wife's opinion - removing the front windshield is NOT an option.

 

ditch the sissy windshields and put on a pair of goggles or tuck your manhood and buy a jeep. Its an offroad toy! dust on the trails is part of the game.

 

So you want to fight with my wife?

Yes it an offroad toy. But I like my comfort and the windshield ISN'T going anywhere. My dust complaint is not because I can't stand the dust, its because my S&B Particle Seperator is working correctly.

 

we put on a tilt up window for that reason , rail/hail suck bad !

 

Just my two cents.
Since quite a bit of dust would come through between the door panels and the door frame, using black silicon and putting a bead around the inside of the door might help.
And maybe the vents on the roof need to adjust too, moving an inch or two might work.

 

Have you installed the rear wheel well block offs? Taping off the drain ports in the floor? I bought the Kemimoto wheel well block offs and that has helped cut down on the dust. I am not running a full windshield though. I only have the Polaris Half shield and seems to work fine for us right now. We don't need googles and it deflects all the air above us so we are not getting a face full. I wouldn't have bought it but someone had returned it to the dealership because it interfered with something on their cage. I paid half price for it so I couldn't complain.

 

I haven't installed any wheel well block offs. I have two of the Polaris storage boxes that completely fill the bed, so I the drain plugs are blocked off. I'm thinking about mounting some type of rear air deflector on the roof to direct air directly into the bed area where my particle separator's air intake is located.

This is the problem child S&B Particle Seperator for my Pro XP. All three air intakes face the rear and just suck why to much dust that just overwhelms the unit.

 

The pro's are absolutely horrific with dust, I can't believe the amount of dust that ends up in the back seats and bed of this thing, I too refuse to ditch the windshield so I will be following this post, hopefully someone can figure something out.

 

hahaha, you "boys" are all complaining about dust in an offroad toy. I feel bad for you millennials your parents just loved you too much to let you experience real life problems. May baby jebus and possibly the .gov make a laws to help you with your issues.

 

I'm 70 years old, my parents raised me to experience real life problems, I spent 20 years in the military, I'm a Viet Nam era vet, so I think it's safe to say I'm not a millennial. Dust doesn't mean a rats ass to me for comforts sake. I don't think you read my earlier post about the amount of dust killing my particle separator. I just want clean air going into my engine.

 

wow, lots of crybaby excuses around here.

 

I added these to my Pro XP 4 - lot of dust in the rear seats and will see how well they on our trip to sand Hollow next weekend. I have stock doors, no winshield, and no rear screen - I put in a OEM Polaris half windshield and the dust was substantially worse.

This company makes great products, they are a small shop about a mile from my house, I'll have to swing by and grab some.

 

I have done everything including adding the vents except remove my windshield which I will do in nicer weather. Only thing I have found to keep the dust out my Pro XP 4 is to carry a battery powered Milwaukee compact leaf blower. Works great. Just blow it out every few stops

 

Yup do the same after each ride.

 

I really hope the particle separator issue gets resolved, i want one, after 1 ride of about 80 miles I tapped about a cereal bowl full of dirt out of my filter, I could have got more but I was swapping my new S&B filter in anyways, the intake pipe was clean regardless, but I'd still like to extend service intervals longer than 1 ride.

 

I just changed my filter and oil and have to say my filter was pretty dusty but the intake inlet was clean. I don't do any group rides so i'm not driving in a dust cloud the entire time. That could be why but I don't know. I know the inside of my machine and we are usually covered at the end of the day of a long trail ride.

 

Yeah I think that is the point of this thread and the issues with the S&B, I love the looks of the pro and the machine overall but man does it just flat coat everything in dirt, everything stirred up ends up in the air filter and cab. I am curious how much clutch housing looks, I'll be pulling that tomorrow.

 

I also have the rear screen and it helps very little

I have a friend with a XP Pro. He said the dust was terrible. There's a a gap in the rear fender wells open to the cab. I used some pieces of foam to fill the gaps. He says it's 90 percent better.

 

I'm buying these and will post a review, yes dust in the pros is literally unreal. This was after my last desert ride of about 60 miles

 

I've gone a little bit of a different route. I built an overhead fan setup that I'm hoping will create positive airflow to keep the dust out....mostly its to cool us off in the hot desert months, but hoping there's a side effect on dust. We'll see, just about have it all finished up and going to mount it this weekend. Only $100 into it.

 

I’m really interested to hear about how well this works.

 

I’ve seen people post on line about the fans mainly for cooling purposes while slow speed trail riding. Not sure how well it would do with getting rid of the dust but it might help. At least they might cool you down while you’re being dusted out.

 

These things surprised the shit out of me, I hooked them up to an 18v drill battery and it almost started hovering in my garage. They put out a crazy amount of airflow. We'll see, for $100 and a couple fun nights in the garage, I'm not too worried either way.

 

Rear wheel well block offs surprised me by cutting down dust by about 90% in my pro xp4.... Now I just get the occasional puff under the front doors.... I use a half windshield as well. I didn't realize how much dust was just coming in from the rear wheelwells all the way to the front seats....

 

Was a no brainer for me, those giant holes in the rear fenders lead right to the cab! Dont remember what brand I used, but the block offs were 50 bucks and a 2 minute clean install..

 

I have the block offs too, they didnt do much for me. If you look through the scoops on the body right there (on the outside, right behind the back door) it funnels air (dust) right into the cab as well.

 

I would surely be concerned with a Particle separator in the wheel well. It ought to be mounted high enough to not be breathing the dust right from the churning tires. Also what about the dust in your filter box? It seems there is some dust around the edges which suggests some dusty air leaking through the cover seal. You would do well to put a coat of grease along the rubber seal to assure that no dust comes into the filter from seal leakage.

I 've done the grease on the air box seal. Didn’t help...

The rear block offs only help keep the mud out of the big hole there. Dust is the same on mine. Lots of it

 

Do to have a full windshield? That will give ve you crazy dust no matter what else you do
