Plastic removal frustration

[Desert Spyder]

'O Crap Kit

Body screws
Plastic rivets
Oil change O-rings
Drain plugs
Brake light bulbs (RS)
Rubber grommets (RT)
Mirror inserts (although I have never broken one)
Touch-up paint (added 2/28/11)

What else?

Dehydrated fuel tablet...just add water?

Relays.

When I had my 600 mile checkup done by my private mechanic (ARRR), he discovered that the slotted plastic dohickeys on the top of the mirror were broken...both sides. Apparently whoever assembled my RT slammed the mirror in at all 3 securement points and not down and in. There were other issues as well but all minor. I'm not sure if the plastic is put on at the dealer or the plant but they did a messy job.

Relays....

Got it, and I added fuses of both kinds, too.

There is a bulletin from Can-Am explaining how to glue the rubber grommets in place. Does anyone have a copy or tell me where I can find it? My biggest frustration when reassembling the body panels is the grommets push through in a few places. I use dry silicone lubricant on the grommets, which helps, but is not a fix.

The rubber grommet service bulletin 2010-6 is linked on the home page(listed as 2010-7).

I tore my Spyder down this weekend to install my new Elka shocks. As expected I tore one of the rubber grommets that hold the panels together. I noticed that some of the grommets are round and others are oval. When I look at the illustrated parts breakdown, only one type of grommet p/n 750005156 is listed. Even that part is not available on the Can-Am website. I have the spare round grommets, but need the ovals. Does anyone have the correct p/n and know where I can order these?

A fellow spyder lover pointed me to this site where I order a pack for spares.
