There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I did and do!
I have the same problem. Mainly notice when I'm riding and no wind moving around or across me. I know sounds weird but Guessing the wind must be just at the right speed and direction behind you to cause this vacuum space. if the air moves across or around you well it's not bad. Lots of heat coming from around the glove box. Looking for a solution as well. May try the 2013 fix with the scoops?

Ursamajor, I have had a few times when the area gets hot. Most often it is after some slow riding or maybe a short stop where the seat heat up also. Overall though, I think the BRP wind deflectors, do make a difference in really hot conditions since I am able to direct airflow towards that area.
We also have a Corbin seat and the joint is sealed well, no doubt making this less of an issue.
I do need to add though, there have been a few times that when riding I have opened the fuel filler door and like a scoop it puts cool fresh air under the seat, cooling it down. Not often but on smokin hot situations I have done this.
So if your Ultimate seat has a fuel door, possibly you could use this trick and if you don't have them, get the BRP wind deflectors. I have seen several sets sell used here recently for very good prices, or maybe someone has a set you could borrow with intentions to purchase or trade for something else.
Simply ideas.

Wanted to add, you could remove the oem deflectors above the upper grilles, these are the clear plastic items. I have done that prior to getting the adjustable BRP ones. Once you remove the clear plastic parts, I thought I reinstalled the screws. Just do that carefully since they may be a touch too long with the plastic removed.
Also, the adjustable deflectors had to be removed from the 2013 RT's when they got the heat reduction upgrade to the bodywork, as I mentioned, maybe a kind sole will step up and offer a set they no longer can use for a fair deal.

I've got similar issues in that the glovebox of my 2014 could poach an egg. Ursa - get a small piece of bubble wrap or a stack of 6 or 7 paper towels (maybe 10" by 8"), lay it across the open glovebox area and close the lid. Makes a pretty effective temporary seal. If it stops the baking, I'll help you work on a more permanent seal with door edging (after the swaybar).
Or .. you could decide to ignore the issue. Your wife is pretty well done needing that stuff, right?

Have any of you 2014+ owners thought of applying the 2013 intake air scoops and removing the acoustic panels to make the area flow air better? The 2013s now stay so cool in that area the glove box insulator is no longer needed.
I understand BRP is now making the scoops available for order at a very reasonable price for other model year RTs.

There's been a lot of discussion about this in the RT shoptalk area.
I'm just not sure if there have been any concrete decisions made about:
A part # for them...
Pricing...
When they might become available...
:dontknow:
