Can Am x3 Max Flat Roof By AFX Motorsports Part 2

[@stevodakine1]

I used rubber weather stripping for mine. Bought a roll at HD. Pretty cheap purchase for the stripping. Cut with some garage scissors to desired width and length. Since it was rubber, I was able tighten the bolts down and compress those slightly uneven areas. Lock tight with the lock washers ensured no backing out. Cool video! Thanks.

[@schaefer26351]

Great explanation and demo on how it was done. I needed this!

glad it helped! Subscribe, I have an updated video coming with some modifications to it.

[@6savagesisters462]

Great video! Really helpful.

[@wernergarage7078]

Awesome I'm glad it helped, I'm still really happy with the roof!

[@luismarin2766]

Hey brother what kind of weather stripping did you use? Just got mine I’m getting ready for install! Thanks

[@wernergarage7078]

Luis Marin I picked some up at Lowe's. I used 1/2 wide I think it was 1/4" thick.

[@emmatyler1]

Great video, thanks. Question though. You spoke about the center point where the H bars bolt together was really out of alignment. Mine looks like one of the flat stock pieces that the bolts go through is at an angle. Is that what your referring to?

[@wernergarage7078]

That was part of it, once you tighten the bolts it should line up better, mine did. In general I had to use a rubber mallet to get everything in place then tightening the bolts did the rest. The cages on the cars do have some inconsistencies as well.

[@emmatyler1]

@@wernergarage7078 Thank you for the quick reply. I also noticed that you bolted down all the outer bolts first. Their instructions now say to do the center ones first. Maybe thats part of the problem.

[@wernergarage7078]

@@emmatyler1 that's interesting it didn't say that in the instructions when I got mine. It was pretty early on some hopefully they have made some updates to the instructions!

How are you liking the roof? In the market and this is at the top of my list and there aren't much for reviews

[@wernergarage7078]

nathan2904366 so far so good, I did lower the seats (one of my other videos) to help prevent my head from hitting the H bar but because of the Virus situation I have not had a chance to test it, for the money you can't beat it.

[@juicebox853]

good video. i would bet the stock cage is very consistent and the H bar is a little wonky

[@wernergarage7078]

juicebox853 maybe but I have tried a couple roof models and with different H bars and the same issue.

What wheel and tire set-up do you have in this video?

[@wernergarage7078]

@@muzicfinder1 Awesome, my buddy has one and loves it! Be sure to reach out if you need any help on anything!

[@kylebartlett9090]

What did you use for your spacers to help level out the sides

[@wernergarage7078]

Kyle I used some thick plastic I had lying around. Not sure it'd it's really needed as the roof has settled in and seems to be fine after over 1000i miles since the install. Be sure to check out my most recent video and enter the contest for Superclean.

[@CJ_garage]

What is the overall weight compared to the oem plastic one?

[@wernergarage7078]

It's very light will add minimal weight to the car

[@CJ_garage]

@@wernergarage7078 great to knw thank you for all the great information

[@Juanesverde33]

Hello. I have a question: ¿Where did you buy that straight tube base? Thanks

[@wernergarage7078]

Are you talking about the H-Bar that sits in the center under the roof?

[@Juanesverde33]

@@wernergarage7078 Yesss the H-Bar 👍🏻

[@wernergarage7078]

The flat H bar from that video comes with the AFX Motorsports roof.

[@Juanesverde33]

@@wernergarage7078 Thanks. ¿How much all kit?

[@wernergarage7078]

Not sure what they are selling for now, they are very inexpensive but the shipping is high because of the size and weight.

[@lathamlawrenceii119]

Good video, do you have a link for the dome lights?

[@wernergarage7078]

Latham Lawrence II I will see if I can find the link, I know they are from Amazon

[@wernergarage7078]

Latham Lawrence II here is the link to the lights. We used the 23mm white lights but they are out of stock right now, they do have some other options that might work for you. Good luck with the project 👍 www.amazon.com/dp/B018IAZNCI/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_Ck0JEbE62VCB5?th=1&psc=1

Werner Garage hey brother what kind of weather stripping did you use? Just got mine in getting ready for install!

[@jud-asinsmith-stansell2022]

Holes arent big enough? U had to do other mods for fitment :( was this a prototype?

[@wernergarage7078]

Not a prototype, no other mods just adding the foam. The holes were just to tight for my liking

[@terrellupshaw1433]

I'm pretty sure they put that the way they did this stop the sun from being in your face while driving since you won't have a visor

[@wernergarage7078]

Terrell Upshaw I agree, it was just to low and starts to resonate at higher speed. If you watch my modification video, cutting it back a bit worked out perfectly.

[@jodytucker4474]

If you cut too much off the front, glare from your light bar might come into play, just food for thought!!

[@wernergarage7078]

We cut he roof in another video. It ended up working perfect and we definitely kept the light bar glare in consideration. That is one of the reasons I didn't want the "dunner" version of the roof.
