My Spyder s screwed .......
Hi Everyone,
It would appear that security is a high priority item for CanAm! The screws holding body panels on my 2014 RTL are security-torx!
I thought I had a set of these things, but darned if I can find them!
Does anyone know what size torx it is? Another trip to the hardware store ...... Arghhhhh.
thanx,

If it is like the 2013, they are not screws. They are just caps / heads where on the other side is a snap-in. Kind of like pulling the side panel for checking the oil. You just push the panel back on.

Do not try to remove any of the security screws and there is no need to. Read your owners manual.

All the screws you normally need to remove are T30. The only T20 screws I can think off right off hand that you might need to remove are the two at the top of the seat back. The chrome security screws hold on some pegs that push into rubber grommets. You do not need, nor want, to remove them.

You probably have 2 sizes in the small tool kit that came with the Spyder, but you can buy a larger set that you might find more useful fairly inexpensively.
Good luck,

There is no T20 in the tool kit.

Any security screws on a Spyder are there for a reason...they are not to be removed. On an RT they hold the posts that slip into the rubber grommets that hold the body panel in place. These are angled, and indexed to hold them in the correct position. Remove the standard Torx screws then pull the panel out of the grommets. Be careful putting the panel back on...the grommets can be pushed through pretty easily. Wetting the grommets and post first helps. Do not lubricate the grommets unless you want to lose a panel...especially the oil check panel and its twin sister.

I hope you did not remove them, but of you did there is cut outs on the pegs that line up with high spots on the panel. Aline those and tighten them down before you put the panel back on.
As Scotty pointed out the rubber grommets are easy to push out due to the angle of the panel and pegs.
Don't ask how I know all this
