Quick answer
Installing a pass through bezel on your UTV is a straightforward process that cleans up wiring and harness routing. Start by removing the seat, position the bezel over the seat cutout, mark the mounting holes, drill pilot holes, and secure the bezel with the included hardware.
Why install a pass through bezel?
A pass through bezel does more than dress up your UTV's interior. It prevents harnesses from slipping off a rider's shoulder and lets you route wiring or 4- or 5-point harness straps through a clean, finished opening. Without one, sharp seat edges can chafe wires or straps over time.
The installation is similar across most UTV models, but Polaris RZR and General owners will find the process especially straightforward thanks to the pre-existing seat cutouts designed for harness pass-throughs.
What you'll need
You'll need a pass through bezel kit (like the 4 Packs UTV Pass Through Bezels for Polaris RZR/ General), a drill with a small pilot bit (1/8" or 3mm), a Phillips or Torx screwdriver, and a marker or center punch. No special mechanical skills are required, but take care not to overtighten the screws into plastic seat frames.
Installation steps
- Remove the seat: Unbolt the seat from the UTV frame and set it on a clean work surface. On most Polaris RZR models, the seat is held by four bolts accessible from the front or underside. Place the seat upside down so the bottom is accessible for drilling.
- Position the bezel: Insert the bezel into the seat cutout from the top side. Center it so the opening aligns with the harness slot. Use a marker to trace the mounting holes or mark the center of each screw hole. Double-check alignment before marking — once drilled, the hole pattern is permanent.
- Drill pilot holes: Using a 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit, drill through each marked point. Drill straight and only deep enough to go through the seat shell — about 1/4" to 3/8" (6–10 mm). Do not drill into foam padding. Keep the bit perpendicular to the seat surface to avoid cracking the plastic.
- Secure the bezel: Place the bezel back over the cutout and insert the supplied screws through the bezel into the pilot holes. Tighten each screw evenly with a screwdriver until snug. Do not overtighten — plastic threads strip easily. Hand-tighten only. If a screw spins freely, the hole may be stripped; use a slightly larger screw or a dab of thread-locker.
- Reinstall the seat: Bolt the seat back into the UTV. Route your harness straps or wiring through the bezel opening before fully tightening the seat bolts. Test that the harness moves freely through the bezel without binding before you button everything up.
