An open Kawasaki KRX 1000 pulls its own dust cloud forward into the cab, and this UTV Zilla tinted rear window shuts that path with a 3/16-inch polycarbonate panel that straps on with metal-loop straps and no tools.
UTV Zilla rates the polycarbonate at 250 times the strength of glass - that is impact resistance, which is the property that matters on a panel sitting behind a machine throwing rocks. It takes a strike that would shatter glass and flexes instead.
The straps use metal loops rather than plastic buckles, which is what keeps a rear panel in place over rough ground and on the trailer ride home. The panel is 3D CAD designed and CNC cut and formed for the factory KRX cage, and it is tinted only - no clear option on this one.
Key Features
- 3/16" tinted polycarbonate construction
- 250 times stronger than glass, per the manufacturer
- 3D CAD designed, CNC cut and formed for a precise fit
- Installs with straps using metal loops - no tools, no drilling
- Tinted for glare reduction and cab privacy
- Designed and made in the USA
Built To Solve: Your Own Trail Dust Filling The Kawasaki KRX 1000 Cab
- An open rear end lets the machine draw its own dust forward into the seats, which is why riders get coated even up front
- Riding in a group means eating everyone else's dust and then your own on top of it
- Rain and spray come in from behind with nothing to stop them
- Rocks thrown up behind the machine hit a rear panel directly - glass shatters where polycarbonate flexes
- Glare and low sun from behind wash out the view forward
- Straps with plastic buckles work loose on rough trails and on the trailer
Best For: Stock-Cage KRX 1000 Machines Ridden In Dust Or In A Group
- Dry desert and trail riding where airborne dust is the daily complaint
- Group riders whose KRX spends the day behind other machines
- Owners who already have a roof and windshield and want to close the cab off
- Riders who want a no-tools, no-drilling install they can remove for a wash
- 2023-2025 KRX owners - this panel runs to 2025, where both UTV Zilla KRX roofs stop at 2022
- Not the right pick if your KRX runs an aftermarket cage; UTV Zilla states stock cage only
- Not the right pick if you want a clear rear view - this is tinted only, with no clear option

Fitment
Fits the 2020-2025 Kawasaki KRX, two-seat. UTV Zilla publishes this fitment as 2020-2025 KRX 2 Seat. Note this runs later than UTV Zilla's KRX roofs, which are published as 2020-2022 - each product carries its own stated fitment.
STOCK CAGE ONLY, stated by UTV Zilla. The KRX is a commonly re-caged machine and the panel and strap positions are cut for factory cage geometry, so check your cage before ordering. This is the two-seat panel and does not fit the KRX4. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications that are not listed.
FAQ
Does a rear window really keep the dust out?
It closes the main path. On an open KRX the low pressure behind the machine pulls your own dust cloud forward into the cab, which is why riders end up coated even sitting up front. A solid panel across the rear opening removes that route. Dust can still come over the hood and in the sides, so a windshield is the other half of the job.
Is polycarbonate really 250 times stronger than glass?
That is UTV Zilla's stated figure, and it reflects polycarbonate's impact resistance rather than its scratch resistance - the two are different properties. Polycarbonate takes a rock strike that would shatter glass and flexes instead. The trade is that it scratches more easily than glass, so wash it with plenty of water and a soft cloth, never a dry rag.
Which KRX years and seat configuration does it fit?
2020-2025 Kawasaki KRX, two-seat, stock cage. Worth noting: this runs to 2025 while both UTV Zilla KRX roofs stop at 2022. That is the manufacturer's own fitment on each product, so a 2024 KRX can take this window but not those roofs.
Will it fit over an aftermarket cage?
No. UTV Zilla states stock cage only. The KRX is a commonly re-caged machine, so this is worth checking before you order rather than after - the panel and its strap positions are cut for factory cage geometry.
How does it mount, and will it stay put on the trailer?
It installs with straps that use metal loops rather than plastic buckles, which is what keeps a rear panel in place over rough ground and on the trailer ride home. No tools and no drilling.
Is there a clear version?
Not for the KRX - tinted is the only option UTV Zilla offers on this one. The tint cuts glare coming in from behind and hides whatever is in the back of the machine. If you want an unobstructed rear view, this is not the panel for you.
Why UTV Zilla
UTV Zilla builds windshields, roofs, rear windows and doors across Polaris, Can-Am, Kawasaki and Arctic Cat platforms, and the line is priced to protect a machine rather than to rival it. Panels are 3D CAD designed and CNC cut in the USA.
The metal strap loops are the detail that matters here. A rear window takes its worst loading not on the trail but on the trailer, at highway speed, and a plastic buckle is where that goes wrong. Specifying metal costs more and photographs no better.
Close Off The Front Of Your Kawasaki KRX 1000 Too
A rear window stops the dust coming from behind, which is the worst of it, but the KRX is still open over the hood. Pair it with the UTV Zilla KRX vented glass windshield with wiper for the most protection, the hard-coated polycarbonate full windshield for a lighter and cheaper panel, or the tinted half windshield if you want to keep airflow on hot days. If the cage is still bare overhead, the KRX aluminum roof carries a front drip edge and the hard plastic roof is the budget option - but both stop at 2022, so check your year. And confirm you are on the factory cage before ordering any of them.
