Thank you. I have that from factory. Or very similar

The factory piece is a joke. UTV's piece works. I have the UTV piece in my wife's XP and it definitely makes a difference. You need to get the pad that goes under the seat area too - that helps a bunch.

The place i notice the heat from the most is the shifter and under the seats. UTV inc makes an under seat block off that i have and like, i also added foam rubber weather strip to the edge of the floor pan plastic at the front edge of the seat. As for the shifter, i haven't addressed that problem yet on my xp900. I'm probably going to use two pieces of rubber under the shifter cover that slightly overlap and use some adhesive to stick them to the plastic cover to help reduce the draft. I notice the heat most when the fan kicks on on my machine, it seems like it blows heat from the radiator down into the skid plate and up from those openings.

 

I bet if we all took off the doors and windshields that we've added they would not be as hot. :rofl3:

 

That's the truth! Heck, running around on a hot day with just the windows down in my pickup doesn't hardly cut it in my pickup.

 

What do you do about all of the hot air that comes from the seat belt holes?

 

Stuff a large shower towel between the seats. Night and day difference when I run my full windshield. Not an issue when my windshield is off, even with full doors.

 

Also makes a great place to stow a sweater or jacket, even if it's a warm day. Lol.

 

I replaced my bed engine cover with this utv vent cover and my rzr runs cooler now. Not saying it will solve ur problem, but it will help. Very hot air gets trapped in the engine bay.

How bout wrapped the stock header ?
Wood this help. Anyone tired it

 

Doesn't help. Mine is wrapped. Its the hot air getting sucked up thru the seat belt holes and any other holes under the seat. Once you put doors and windshield on there, that effect just happens. Only option is to block it from coming up there.

 

Dang wish their was a easy fix to this. Guess I'll seal up under seats an around seat belt slots. An go from there

 

If yours is like mine, the heat you are most likely feeling is from the coolant hoses that run through the shifter tunnel. In the summer months if I'm just putting around I have to remove my doors to keep it cool, or just take off my short windshield and everything is fine! Part of those lines are hose, part is tubing. Go get some ac line insulation from home depot, and cover it .

That header wrapped will ruin your header pipe if you don't watch it especially the thin walled factory pipe.

 

I had the same problem. bought the mat from ebay that goes under the seats. I also drilled 2" holes across the bottom of my windshield. Rode all last weekend and it was night and day difference. Hardly and heat at all in the cab. I got full doors and front window.

 

What mat ? Like the rubber that utv inc sells

Does this mat help close off any of the seat belt holes? Thats where the majority of the heat comes from on the XP 900.

I would like to see a close up picture as i can't really tell by the ebay pics.

Don't know if the 900s is the same. The hot air from the radiator flows down the center console and heats your drinks too! I removed the console and filled it with the spray foam insulation. When it cured I carved it out to allow flow but insulate the console. It helps keep the drinks cooler and reduces some of the heat. Not perfect but helps. The majority of the heat now comes from behind the seats.

 

Cool idea! (oh, sorry, pun wasn't intended...)
I may have to look into that one. It makes sense.
Did you do a cut out for the shifter too?

 

Any pics of that

 

Did u fill up where shifter goes thru also ? I feel lot of heat coming out of there 2

Thanks.

 

I plan on putting in an access door to check the oil then I'm going to get rid of the rubber boot around the seat belts and put a flat piece of LEXAN in it's place. I'll screw it or down or tape it with Gorilla tape. most of the heat I get comes in there or under the gap at the back of the shift counsel. That's easy to plug with a bit of 1x2 about ten inches long and some more tape. At that point if it's still too hot I'll buy the block off for under the seats. In order to get the whole inspection cover off (the plastic factory part) I'll have to remove the LEXAN and possibly the center seat belts but that rubber boot never stays in place and when it come loose it"s like a blast furnace. The air blows up through there even when I'm standing still.

 

I am glad that it worked for you- with the fuel tank under the passenger seat/ and the battery tray under the driver - blocking alot of the heat already, we did not see / feel a significant difference-

The seat belt slots & behind the occupants/ is where there is alot of heat translating to make it uncomfortable.

The mat blocks the seat belts off.

 

Yep / but for the $$ I can use a golf towel to do the same thing.. Just saying

 

We place a bath towel or two in-between the seats. Plus they great to have when we stop for a drink. I keep a small ice chest in the bed so the bed vent will most likely over heat it.

Anyone add a fan to move the trapped air?
