Looking for the RT Vent Kit instructions

[Baron14y]

Interested in them, but, for physical reasons, can't install them. Got a quote from the dealer for 1 1/2 hrs. labor. Sound about right?

No. They're attached to the body panel

There are 2 screws, one in each vent just before the mesh that need to be removed, then remove the panel like you normally would. The vent assembly will come off with the panel. Mine didn't come with instructions either. I fiddled with the pieces until they went together then figured out how to install them. I put the panel on my kitchen table and fiddled some more. Marking where to drill the attachment screws can be a bear. I missed a couple and needed to drill new holes, but the vent covers them. I didn't cut out the panel, just removed the stock grill and it performs as expected. Now I can put candy bars in the glove box and they don't melt. Pete did sent pics of how he did his. Thanks Pete.

The instructions call for you to cut the opening larger. If you leave them with the original opening, they wont flow nearly as much air.

Need instructions please for my 2010 RT

Thanks

I got lucky, these were on my '14 RTS when I got it. need to figure out how to remove them to do work now....

You don't need to remove the vents to take off the Tupperware. There is a long bolt/screw at the front of the vent that screws into one of the wind wing holes that was taken off to do the install.

You can get these vents on Amazon for $81.99. Search for this. Can-Am Spyder Rt Vent Kit 219800388 New Oem. I installed them on my 2015 RT and didn't cut the hole out but let them feed the existing grill vent. They work great and dropped my normal temp gauge reading by about half a mark.

Add the vents to my 14rts today didn't cut anything. Just removed inside heat panels and vents. I do have Doc's instructions. Don't forget to add heat foam to inside panels.

I have a 2018 RT and did not cut out anything. What a difference but miss it on cold mornings.

I was wondering about adding the heat vent kit on my '17 RTL to help cool off the heat I feel coming thru the body on my legs. I see some people have added them an liked what they did. I would like to see some pictures of what they look like once they are installed on your spyders. All I can find is the kit parts an not a picture of them installed. If anyone has couple pictures that they can share I would really appreciate it.Thank you.

has pictures...

Here are some pictures of mine installed. I left the factory vent opening in the panels and didn't cut them out to start. That way if I didn't like them, I would only have 4 small holes to fill and use touch-up paint on. Now that I've had them for about 10 months, I really like them, and I'm going to go back and cut out the opening to allow more air in. The current setup has dropped my temp but now I want to see if I can drop it more.

Thank you all for the pictures of the vents added to your Spyder. All so thanks for links to other threads about the vents added an how you added wings for more air to rider. Thank you, Nathan in Yakima WA

Did it make a big difference when you cut out the opening?

 

[vienna7475]

i haven't cut out the opening yet. I will post something once I do it.
