Rubber Broke

[vt228]

What a piece of crap. I noticed my cowl was a little off center, I checked and sure enough one of the rubbers was broken. I think BRP should come up with a better solution and replace them all...Yep that will happen.:roflblack: The more I get into this :spyder2:, not sure I make a wise choice. Now I have a small leak, antifreeze I think. Always something.:cus:

they should send a velcrow straps so you can fit it tight the rubber cords are gunk to short and a Bitch to put on velcrow is what im using .they didnt think this out first befor they send it out it should slid on easy and clamp on easy on / off so when we want to use it it slids on easy I was Pissed when mine brok off when driving down highway fly off on to grass 3 rubber straps broke last one let go .velcrow holds tightly BRP fix this please .:chill: befor some one gets hurt from flying covers we love owerspyders please t/y

The cap goes on pretty hard and some do not turn it far enough because of this. If you don't get it on all the way it will leak.

I beleive the wings of the cap align with the holding tank when installed correctly (all the way to the last notch). It should also be level. If one of the tabs does not catch the cap will be up on one side.

It is hard to believe that a cap has gone bad.

From my experience in removing and putting the cap back on, caution is of primary importance. The cap MUST be pressed down and started LEVEL before turning it clockwise. You are dealing with metal to plastic and improperly done, will damage the plastic bottle. There are 2 notches to be overcome before the cap is properly set. The space to work in is very tight, so I recommend unscrewing the red plastic end before attempting to service the coolant.

Cowl Rubber fixed

Wasn't real crazy about the velcro thing. I stopped by Lowe's and purchased a packet of small budgie cords, they were about the same diameter as the rubber ones.($2.49) I cut them the same length as the old rubber ones. Removed the metal clip, burned the end of the cut cord so not to fray and reattached everything to the shorter cord. Cut off the end of the metal attach clip. WALA! they work fine. So far so good.:2thumbs:
