A bare Wildcat Trail or Sport 700 cage leaves you in the sun all day with nothing between your head and a low branch. This UTV Zilla roof is cut from 0.25" high-density plastic that is water and UV proof, CNC cut from a 3D CAD model, and it comes with billet mounts, stainless hardware and the install instructions in the box. It is the lower-cost way to get covered on these machines.
Plastic trades some rigidity for price and weight. If you want the stiffest panel on the same cage, the UTV Zilla aluminum roof is the alternative.
Key Features
- 0.25" thick high-density plastic, water and UV proof
- 3D CAD designed and CNC cut for fit and finish
- Billet mounts and stainless hardware included
- Install instructions and all hardware in the box
- Resists branch impact
- Designed and made in the USA
Built To Solve: Sun, Rain And Branches On An Open Wildcat Trail Cage
- A bare cage gives no shade on long days and no cover in rain
- Trail and Sport machines spend time in tree cover where branches hit the cage and the rider
- Thin plastic roofs crack; 0.25" high-density plastic takes the hit and is UV proof so it does not go chalky
- Roof kits that arrive without hardware mean a second trip for bolts; mounts, stainless hardware and instructions are all included
- An aluminum roof costs more than some owners want to spend on a trail machine
Best For: Wildcat Trail And Sport Owners Who Want Cover On A Budget
- Trail riders in tree cover who want a roof without the aluminum price
- Owners wanting shade and rain cover on a stock machine
- Anyone replacing a cracked or chalked thin plastic roof
- Stock cages only. UTV Zilla states this roof will only fit a stock cage, so an aftermarket cage rules it out
- Consider instead: the UTV Zilla Wildcat Trail/Sport aluminum roof if you want the most rigid panel and do not mind paying more

Stock cage only. UTV Zilla states this roof will only fit a stock cage. If your cage has been replaced or modified, this is not the right part.
Expect some bowing in the sun. In UTV Zilla's own words, the plastic is flexible and expands and contracts with temperature, and bowing in the sun is normal rather than a defect. If you want a panel that stays dead flat, choose the aluminum roof.
UTV Zilla states the fitment by machine without a year range on this page, though their Wildcat Trail and Sport windshields are listed 2014 and newer. Ask us before ordering if your machine is older than that. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications not listed above.

FAQ
My roof is bowing in the sun. Is it faulty?
No. UTV Zilla states that the plastic is flexible and expands and contracts with temperature, and that bowing in the sun is normal and not a defect. It is a property of the material, not a fault, and it is the main trade-off against the aluminum roof.
Will it fit my aftermarket cage?
No. UTV Zilla is explicit that this roof will only fit a stock cage. If you are running a replacement cage, neither this nor the matching aluminum roof is guaranteed to line up.
Does it come with the mounts and bolts?
Yes. Billet mounts, stainless hardware and the install instructions are all included, so there is nothing else to buy to fit it.
How is this different from the aluminum Wildcat Trail roof?
This one is 0.25" high-density plastic and costs less. The aluminum version is .090" aluminum, stays rigid and flat, and mounts with rubber-coated clamps. Both fit the same stock cage; the choice is price against rigidity.
Will it crack if a branch hits it?
UTV Zilla states it resists branch impact, and the flexibility that causes the sun bowing is also what lets it take a hit rather than crack. It is not armour, but it is not thin plastic either.
Does it fade or go chalky?
The plastic is UV proof, which is what prevents the chalking you see on cheap unprotected roofs. It is also water proof, so rain and washing are not a concern.
Why UTV Zilla
UTV Zilla builds roofs for machines much of the aftermarket has moved on from, including the Wildcat Trail and Sport 700, with billet mounts and stainless hardware supplied in the box and everything designed and made in the USA. They also state the material's limits openly, which is why the sun-bowing note appears on their own page.
Finish Your Wildcat Trail Cab
Confirm your cage is stock before ordering, since that is the one hard restriction on this roof. Owners closing in the Trail or Sport cockpit usually add the UTV Zilla Wildcat Trail/Sport half windshield, whose large upper lip deflects air without adding height, and the rear windshield to cut the dust that comes in from behind. If you would rather have a rigid panel that stays flat, compare the aluminum roof before you decide.
