    BRP has used the same belt guard, there is just that one section that they always missed.

    If you live or ride around heavy graveled roads, this is a must have. Otherwise, you can do without it, but at the same time it is extra protection.

    Like stated above, cheap easy to install and can help protect and expensive drive train..worth it..!! But it is a choice some folks take all the guards and fender off and ryde around. Can't attest to how well that goes..

    Default Belt Guard Install

    So on my 2016 RT Limited the three screws holding the housing for the belt cover won't just unscrew when trying to take the housing off. All three just keep turning. Is there a trick to getting them off? Do I have to use a wrench behind the bracket to hold something in place to get the screws to catch?

    Thanks everyone...

    Another reason to install the guard is that many areas chip seal the roads -- talk about gravel! Just heard that Arizona's DOT's new budget is calling for the use of chip seal for the first time. They don't mention the consequences - paint chipping, broken windshields, tar all over your vehicle -- to say nothing of potential damage to drive belts, etc.
