top side panel removal

[rhoule1]

I am new to this forum. I just purchased a 2014 RT. Trying to figure out what kind of tool I need to remove the fasteners on the top side panel. It's not hex or torx. Any suggestions?
Appreciate any input.

most bolts are torx or push pins if you are talking about the two chrome bolts on the bottom part of the panel, they are not bolts, they push into grommets

DO NOT try to unscrew those two silver torx screws. As John said they are pushed into the grommet. Read your manual and learn how to remove the panels correctly

It is a good idea, and a pretty cheap one, to purchase a shop manual. Here is a link to one from Midwest Manuals http://stores.ebay.com/Midwest-Manu...=20003103&_sid=60680161&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

Top panel Fasteners

Hey guys, thanks so much for the feedback. I did look at the manual but must have missed that. I will get a shop Manual. Thanks again.

Wouldn't it be nice, if BRP just made those fasteners NOT look so much like fasteners? :banghead:

Are you talking about the panel you remove to get at the oil filter? If so, the black screws are Torx. I picked up a set from Harbor Freight couple years ago...pretty cheap. Haven't tried it but theres one in the tool kit that might fit.
