• 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.

Frunk Fuse Covers -- Gaskets

The fuse covers in the frunk are really meant to keep water out of the frunk and have a stick on gasket. These are not the actual fuse box covers, just the "access" covers for the fuse boxes. Anyway, we rode home from Spyders in the Ozarks on Friday in a monsoon. Rained so hard in some spots that we were down to 30 miles per hour on the freeway … just so much water on the road. Very thankful for three brand new tires … they performed masterfully well. We also rode through one very deep puddle (like almost to the floor boards) ….so I was a bit worried about the frunk. Checked it and there was a little moisture, but it had clearly come in from the nose and when I pushed on the seal it did "give" just a tad. Decided to check the fuse boxes, so pulled the frunk access covers and each had about 2 tablespoons of water in them. The actual fuse boxes were dry, though the bottoms of their covers were damp from the water in the access covers.

The gaskets on the access covers are in horrible shape -- and the BRP site won't go to the Spyder page right now (too many redirects). Does anyone have a part number for just the gasket? Is it even sold separately from the access cover?

Thanks ….. Ann
 
If you are on the FB group for Spyder Technical, I posted about replacing those gaskets there a few months ago. I did not use oem foam gaskets, but something from Lowes that seals better.
 
I checked with my dealership parts guys about the gaskets for the same reason and found they were not sold separately from the covers.
