A quiz for all RT owners............

What has been one of the main problems arising on many of the RT Spyders?

Check out this picture, taken from a White Limited 2011 and you can see the fix, compliments of BRP

I guess that was way too easy
Sure is what it looks like to me. Now I need to investigate this and the part numbers more and do a retro-fit on mine. I have the Pre-production model without the hook or anything, only grommets holding my panels on.

Very happy to see this. Now I can check this problem off my list. that will be one less question to ask my dealer when I go see him this weekend. Still lots on the list however. Thanks for the update. :thumbup:

ok help me out .. a little slow but what did they change and how hard to change that on the 2010 models like you said ...

looks like they made a metal bracket to hold the grommet on the Spyder... is that what they did? I assume they still have the hook on the panel.

the 2011 parts listing out yet online?

Took my RT-S in today to have rear tire changed plus 15,000 mile oil change. Asked service manager about this. He was unaware. With that said though he did say he was going to investigage and see if this can be done on the 2010. His comment was that he best find an answer now because he would be having a 1000 inquiries about it.

I have to admit you took me by surprise with this one. I am ashamed to admit that I haven't yet removed a panel to look under the Tupperware of my 2011. I will be pleased to not have to go through and glue every darned grommet. Guess it's time to ask Miss RR if I can look under her skirt.

So far, only on LE.

They grommets will push thru when you are replacing the side covers, unless you glue them in place. It looks like this should stop that from happening. I have all of the stuff ordered to do the refit on mine and will post up results.
