we have had no problem with a hot foot on our 2015. Had a 2013 with heat problem.
-
I'd be intrested to know how it works. I also have a 2015 RT, and find it hot in the crotch, so to speak, on warm days. Doing Something similar crossed my mind. Good luck with it and enjoy the trip.

You can probably remove the plastic pans under the engine and put the 2013 RT recall scoops on to force some air in there.

We put the scoops that they made up for the 2013's on our 2014. Actually made the glove box usable. Prior to the change you could almost heat your lunch in it. The kit was about $50.

Which panel is that you are holding up. I cannot tell from the picture?

It did help a lot. The panels were actually comparatively cool to the touch after that.
I also agree with the suggestion of adding the 2013 air intake scoops. Several 1330 owners have reported that has help to reduce heat.

I got an Air Hawk seat pad. That took care of the crotch heat. My thighs are fine. It's my lower legs taking the brunt of the heat. One more to install, then I will test ryde it.

That's the bottom side panel.

Cool crotch and glove box.
I installed the air scoop kit that was designed for the 2013 RT on to my 2014 RTL and now my glove box and surrounding area is a lot cooler. Dealer sells kits and has numbers. I did it mainly as I like the look but cooler is good too.

Install the air scoops from the 2013 heat recall. They are less than $70 and your hot air at the crotch will be GONE and glove box will stay cool.

I did this intalltion on my 2015 RT Limited, and for less than $70.00 is the best low cost mod. I've done to my Spyder. Search for Doc Riverside and you will find all the information you need to learn about where to get the kit, and how to do the installation.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?

Good luck, and please let us know how this experiment works out!

Rode today with temperatures in the high 80s. My legs were comfortable no matter what speed I was going. I think this was a successful way to get rid of the burn!

Thx for that info , now to figure out the square footage i would need.... I was quoted $500 +parts for the pipe wrap most of my shopping has been autozone & the like. Nothing to make me jump on just yet. Again no real heat problem on mine thankfully.
I wasn't there but I still care! POW /MIA VETS

I installed a Catalytic Converter Delete Pipe I got at Pitbull Power Sports in Springfield, MO. That totally fixed any heat problem. Runs really cool and I live in the South where the daily 'feels like' temp averages 103. Never a hot crotch. And it sounds cooler as well.
