Four Ways to Open and Close Your Xpedition's Rear Window

If you're accessing the trunk on your Polaris Xpedition ADV on the regular โ€” loading coolers, grabbing gear, pulling out recovery equipment โ€” you already know the rear tailgate window latch isn't the most convenient thing to reach for. A rear window grab handle fixes that. It mounts to the center of your rear glass with 3M VHB tape and gives you a clean, solid grip every time you open or close that window. No drilling, no modifications. Just prep the surface, stick it on, and you're done.

We showed you three options a while back, and they were so popular we sold out across the board. Now the manufacturers have restocked and we've added a fourth option from DRT Motorsports. Here's how all four break down so you can pick the right one for your rig.

DRT Motorsports Rear Window Handle โ€” The Newest Player with the Most Customization

The DRT Motorsports Polaris Xpedition Rear Window Handle is the newest option in the lineup and it's a full billet handle with grooves built right into the grip for your fingers. What sets this one apart is the multi-layered finish that matches the rest of DRT's Xpedition product line. If you're already running their parts, everything ties together visually.

The other thing worth knowing โ€” DRT includes the adhesive but doesn't pre-apply it. That's intentional. It means you can send the handle out for custom powder coating before you install it, which none of the other options offer. If you want your grab handle to match a custom color scheme on your rig, this is the one that lets you do it.

Elektric Offroad Designs Rear Window Handle โ€” The Smartest Design of the Four

The Elektric Offroad Designs 2024 Polaris Xpedition Rear Glass Handle is full CNC billet aluminum with an anodized black finish and 3M VHB tape pre-applied on the back. What makes this one stand out is a detail nobody else thought of โ€” the handle is tapered to match the angle of the rear window, so when it's mounted on the glass it sits completely horizontal to the ground. It's one of those things you didn't know you cared about until you see it. Looks super clean, feels natural to grab, and it's a genuinely smart design.

Geiser Performance Rear Window Handle โ€” Sleek Pyramid Design with Finger Holds

The Geiser Performance Polaris Xpedition Rear Window Handle is billet aluminum with an anodized finish and 3M VHB tape on the back. It's got a sleek pyramid-style look with finger holds built into the grip and the Geiser logo set right into the design. Really comfortable to grab and it looks sharp on the glass. If you're already running Geiser Performance parts on your Xpedition, this one fits right in with the rest of your setup.

B's Fab 3D Printed Rear Window Handle โ€” Best Bang for Your Buck

The B's Fab Polaris Xpedition ADV Rear Window Handle is 3D printed and uses 3M VHB tape to bond to your rear glass. Don't let the 3D printed material throw you off โ€” this thing is seriously durable. We've actually stood on one during a shop walk and it held up no problem. We've sold a ton of these and the feedback has been great. If you want the most affordable option that still gets the job done right, B's Fab is the move.

Which One Should You Get?

All four mount to the center of your Xpedition's rear glass with 3M VHB tape โ€” clean install, no drilling. You don't have to mess with your factory latches or modify anything. Here's the quick breakdown:

Go with DRT Motorsports if you want full billet with a multi-layered finish that matches their other Xpedition parts, or if you want the option to custom powder coat your handle. Go with Elektric Offroad Designs if you want that tapered billet design that sits perfectly horizontal on the glass โ€” nobody else is doing that. Go with Geiser Performance if you want billet aluminum with a sleek pyramid look, finger holds, and a clean finish that matches your other Geiser parts. Go with B's Fab if you want the best value and something proven durable.

Either way, every trip to the back of your Xpedition gets a little more dialed.
