Installation Instructions
Thank you for purchasing a UTV enclosure manufactured in the USA with pride by GCL UTV. Your enclosure is made of heavy duty fabric that is water repellent and resistant to mildew, ultra-violet rays and abrasion. With proper installation and care you can expect many years of service from your GCL UTV enclosure.
SOME IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE GETTING STARTED….
- The enclosure attaches to your UTV’s cab frame with Velcro. The technical term for Velcro is hook and loop. Loop is the soft side and hook, the rough side. Loop has been sewn into the enclosure at various points. Adhesive hook has been supplied to attach to your cab frame, corresponding to the sewn-in loop. If you struggle with placement of the adhesive hook, with the enclosure held to the cab frame, note the locations of the sewn-in loop. The adhesive hook is attached to the cab frame at those locations.
- The adhesive hook should be applied at a temperature of 60 degrees or above. For maximum adhesion, when the adhesive hook is in place, allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before attaching the loop to the hook.
- Clean the surfaces the adhesive hook will be attached to before beginning installation. A light cleaning with mild soap and water is best. A little Windex works great. Do NOT wax or clean with a compound that leaves the frame slick. The adhesive hook will not stick to a slick surface. Again, a light cleaning is best.
- Your enclosure is not a “one size fits all” product. The enclosure was designed and manufactured specifically for your model UTV. As a result, the enclosure should fit square and snug to the cab frame.
- Periodic cleaning of your enclosure with mild soap and water is recommended to minimize accumulations of dirt.
- Clean the vinyl windows with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth to avoid scratches. DO NOT USE ANY DETERGENTS, WINDOW CLEANERS, SOLVENTS OR CHEMICALS TO CLEAN VINYL WINDOWS.
- Clean your enclosure and allow it to dry before removing for storage. Never fold your enclosure to store. Roll the enclosure to avoid creasing the vinyl windows. Creases in the vinyl windows cannot be removed. CREASING THE VINYL WINDOWS VOIDS ALL WARRANTIES AND GUARANTEES.
- The only enclosures manufactured by GCL UTV that can be hauled when installed are Lexan windshields, full cab enclosures, and door/rear window combos with top and windshield installed. However, the enclosures should be tied down before hauling. Speed should not exceed 55 mph while hauling to prevent ripping and shredding of the material and zippers. REMOVE ALL OTHER ENCLOSURES BEFORE HAULING.

Care Instructions
-
Heavy Duty Marine and Mil-Spec Military Fabric Cleaning
All GCL UTV Enclosure Heavy Duty Marine and Military Camo fabrics are guaranteed against excessive loss of color or strength under normal exposure and use conditions. Periodic cleaning with a solution of 4 ounces of bleach and 2 ounces of soap (NOT DETERGENTS) in one gallon of water is recommended to minimize accumulations of dirt, bird droppings and other contaminants which can support surface mildew and stain fabric. -
Soft Vinyl Window Cleaning
GCL UTV Enclosure Vinyl Windows will remain clear and provide great visibility under normal exposure conditions if properly cleaned. Periodic cleaning with a solution of 1 ounce of soap in one gallon of water is all that is needed to maintain good window cleanliness and visibility. Caution: DO NOT USE ANY DETERGENTS, WINDOW CLEANERS, SOLVENTS or CHEMICALS OF ANY KIND TO CLEAN VINYL WINDOWS AS THESE WILL CLOUD THE WINDOWS. ALSO, NEVER RUB WINDOWS WITH A DRY CLOTH OR RAG. -
Storage Recommendations
Before removing the GCL UTV Enclosure from your vehicle for storage, clean the Fabric and Vinyl Windows thoroughly as indicated above. Any dirt remaining on the Enclosure may scratch Vinyl Windows while in storage. Once the Enclosure has been cleaned it should be placed on a large flat surface. Lay the Enclosure out so that Vinyl Windows are in a flat position. Fold the doors over the rear panel first then fold the top and windshield on top of the doors keeping the Vinyl Windows flat. Caution: FOLDING VINYL WINDOWS WILL CAUSE PERMANENT CREASE DAMAGE AND WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES. Once the Enclosure is folded keeping all Vinyl Windows flat, begin rolling the Enclosure into an 8” roll. Place the 8” roll into a box and store at normal room temperature. To ensure long life of your enclosure it is best not to store in extreme temperatures. -
Hauling
The ONLY products manufactured by GCL UTV that can be hauled while installed are the hard windshields, full cab enclosures, and door/rear window combos with top and windshield installed. However, the full cab enclosures and door/rear window combos should be tied down before hauling. Speed should not exceed 55 mph while hauling to prevent ripping and shredding of the material and zippers. -
NEVER HAUL INSTALLED
SOFT TOPS, WINDSHIELD TOP COMBOS, AND SUMMER CABS. REMOVE BEFORE HAULING.
