Sorry if this is a request already provided but, I couldn't find anything specific regarding installation instructions for an RT Vent Kit. I ordered the kit and it was delivered without instructions. Thanks in advance for any help

I assume you are talking about a 2013? If so I could take pictures of one installed.

Sorry, I lost the files when my laptop died. When you get the files, read through them. TAKE YOUR TIME, think things thru, make sure before you cut. Its nerve racking to think about cutting the Tupperware. the other side goes a little easier.

I have some files that I have been sending to a few of the folks on here. Send me a PM and I'll send them to you.

The vent kit is for the V twin motor RT's 2010-2013. It stops your feet from frying.

If you have the BRP part number go here: https://instructions.brp.com/e-instruction.html#tab=1&sku=710004533

You can print out the directions for the install.

Yes. If you have the BRP part number put it in where it asks and you should get directions. On that page, scroll up a little and you'll see where to put it.

UtahPete sent the pics of his install. I put the Vent Kit on my 2015 and I'm VERY happy with the results. Now I don't get hot air coming up from the motor, and the Glove Box is cool enough that whatever you put in there isn't so hot you burn your hands. You don't need to cut a hole in the Tupperware, just remove the grill and everything will be hunkie dorie. Take all the parts out and fit them together on the kitchen table, they don't seem like they are compatable but keep trying until "The AH HA Moment". If there is a dealer near you that has been into Spyders from the git go, they might have the instructions in their files, ask, but remember the the Vents were for the 08-13 years. Good luck, and happy wrenching.

I'm not sure about that. Part of the what the vents do is to funnel much more air through the engine compartment and to do that they need larger openings than were originally made on the panels.

Live here in Clearwater Fl. added the vents to my 14RTS also didn't cut anything out. I just removed the grill vents. No problems and we spend alot of time in traffic. We'll see what happens in the summertime heat and humidity.

[QUOTE=UtahPete;1633972]I've posted the instructions here https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/album.php?albumid=5243

The first pdf is the one from Can-Am. The second is from a former contributor here on SpyderLovers showing how he went about it.[/QUOTE

The thumbnails are there but the full size files don't come up. Hopefully it is just me.

I think I need some help from a moderator getting a pdf to download to a place where others can access it. The problem with 'albums' is it only accepts .jpg files apparently.

You can upload PDF's to a new post in this thread via Manage Attachments. :thumbup:

Go to Reply to Thread; then Go Advanced; and once the screen paints up scroll down past the text entry field & the Additional Options immediately below it, until you reach Attachments. Click on the Manage Attachments button, & then when the new Manage Attachments screen paints up, click on either Choose File under Upload Files from your Computer & go thru the selection process before clicking on Upload in the bottom right of that box; or enter the URL in the top field under Upload Files from a Website. Once your file is uploaded, it will appear in the box immediately above the Attachment Key field which shows all the acceptable file types & their max sizes, & once your file is shown there, you can go back to the Reply to Thread screen & fill in any necessary text (at least a quick description of what the attachment is/does/is about would help! :rolleyes: ) and then click on Preview Post or Submit Reply as you desire - repeat as necessary! :ohyea:

Please Note: While the software might allow you to upload anything up to 10 files per post this way, just use the next line in the applicable section or you'll over-write anything previously uploaded; but if you want everyone to be able to see it/them, you should try to limit the numer of attachments/images to any one post to about 5, as (depending upon size & maybe other stuff) anything much more than 5 attachments/images on any one post may make it impossible for some potential viewers on small screen or low capacity devices/networks to even open the thread! :shocked: . So if you want to ensure everybody who wants to can see your post & its attachments, Please, no more than 5 attachments/images to any one post. :lecturef_smilie: . If you have more attachments/images that you wish to upload, simply upload the first 5 to one post, submit that, then attach the next lot (of up to 5) to another/the next post (& repeat as necessary! :p ) Doing that will not only make it possible for the vast majority of potential viewers to actually open the thread & see your posts with their attachments, but it will also allow for an easier read & the display of a larger number if you have them - jam too many attachments/images into one post & even those who CAN open the thread are less likely to read/view it all, while posts of up to 5 attachments will break it up into readable/viewable chunks more likely to reach a wider audience! :yes:

Over to you! :thumbup:

Call your spyder dealer. Have them see if they still have the kit or they can get it for you an have it sent to your home. My dealer had it to me within a week at my home. Still only cost around $70. It was couple yrs ago that I got it. Maybe still possible to get it from dealer. It was a lot cheaper than what I could find online.
