Windshield Motor Suport Arm

[bluestratos]

Hope I can remember all the parts to take off but you need to remove:

• Mirrors
• Clear wind deflectors (lower)
• Black access panels under trunk lid
• Upper side panels (both sides)
• Front Fascia (around head lights)
• Clear wind deflectors (upper)
• Windshield
• Dash Cover

That will get you to the arm, it removes with a circlip if I recall correctly

front piece just broke

The arm that attaches to the windshield motor to raise and lower the windshield broke this morning. The dealer says I have to buy the whole motor assenbly at $480. All I need is the arm that connects the motor to the windshield. Any sugestions?

I have a 2011 RTSE and was pulling out of a parking space and low and behold all of a sudden the windshield droped down towards the top of the dash and when I dismounted I discovered that this "dog bone" lift piece was broken. I was not doing and raising or lowering at the time of the windshield just moving about 5mph. This is clearly not only a poor design but probably a defective piece of cast metal. BRP should recall all units and replace them this could prove dangerous if driving on a highway if nothing else the surprise of it falling towards the driver. I am glad it was not in the up position as I sit forward on the seat and it probably would have clipped my face. If BRP does not replace this part gratis as I have a 5 year warantee, I will take them to court and also report this as a needed recall to the dept. of transportation as well as the dept of commerce. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DESIGN AND A FAULTY CASTING!!!!!:yikes:

Wasn't someone marketing an aftermarket arm some time ago? What happened with that?

 

[Dragonrider]

Yes - and it came from "noboot" in Australia. It was $120, but worth every dime. There's also installation instructions in the DYI section, and reading that is CRITICAL. If you do it wrong, your windshield will no longer work.

Mine was NOT cracked, but I replaced it anyway.

A bloke in Australia came out with a re-placement made from a block of Alumin also ..... His name on Spyderlovers is " No Boot " ..... this may be His that is now marketed by these folks .....imho I think they are the same ...................as to what it will do - it will NOT break ever ...un-like the OEM part which breaks pretty often depending on mileage......
