Baker Air Wings problem on all RT's with the new BRP Scoop Vents installed

[larryd]

I have Baker Air wings on my 14 RTSwith now installed BRP air scoops...They Baker wings worked fine in the warm& hot weather...But now that the weather has cooled off and you want toclose off the cold air hitting directly on you knees these are no help...Icontacted Baker's and talked to Mike, he said they DO NOT have a fix for thisproblem at this time, and to check back next month...Anyone else experiencingthis problem??? Anyone have an attractive fix???

I think they need to redesign theupper and lower air wing blade and make the inside edge tapered to fit thecontour of the Spyder...The cold weather is here now in PA and I'm in need of afix...larryd

You bought the air wings before you had the scoops installed so you shouldn't be surprised that they don't work properly anymore. I'm sure Bruce will come up with something, you might have to wait a while though.

Here's what I did. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?84563-Baker-Air-Wing-mod-for-new-air-scoops

I sent an email and link to the thread to Baker but never heard boo from them, so I don't know if they're going in this direction or what.

I put mine on because IMO any additional cooling can't be a bad thing and it was cheap to do. AND Doc Riverside put out the instructions making it a no brainier.

I liked the looks of them...Plus they completely eliminated the heat under the glove box...I'm sure the engine compartment is also much cooler...larryd

I too, put them on my 15RTS. Love the look and no heat from the glove box.

I cut & shaved down the upper inner panel to fit.
You have to cut & shave a little at a time to get the best fit.
I then drilled 2 holes and used the existing black nut & bolt from the panel.
They are working great !!!

I was looking at getting the air scoops on my Spyder, but never thought about my Air Wings. I'll have to think about that one.
