Has anyone found a way to stop the hot air from coming in through the shifter tunnel? I'm thinking maybe heat shielding somewhere in the tunnel, but was wondering if someone else has already sone it or if they even had pictures.
Thanks

Someone suggested using painters tape and covering holes in work area. I am using tape and shop towels now. Retrieval is impossible.We (2 quads plus my MavT) did a 40 mile loop from home Tuesday during Monsoon weather before afternoon storms rolled in. When stopped, I could feel heat (long pants, longsleeve t-shirt and full helmet/gloves) but not uncomfortable while moving. Yes, the shifter tunnel plus openings to belly skid behind both seats plus drainage ports are all channels for heat to migrate forward. Just consider that a "feature" when cool temps return!
Lost 3 more pieces of hardware in those openings between yesterday and today while working on my tri-band mobile radio install. Each item dropped sounded like a pinball game as they bounced into openings and onto the belly skid. No way to retrieve without removing skid sections and then reattaching with new rivets or other replacement fasteners. I keep hoping those lost parts will eventually bounce out on the trail but then maybe not. BTW, removed passenger seat base and back in an attempt to retrieve today's loss. No dice on that plus getting that seat back correctly engaged again was a PITA. Doubt that I'll remove again except for major service...
