Polaris Matryx - Snow In Glove Box Fix

[@charlieklesse7040]

Ace hardware has 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 foam. Also 3/8 weatherstrip for the bottom of door. Works great! Over 1000 miles and no snow intrusion

Thanks Charlie. Saved me a ton of headaches

Hi there, Cool video, I picked up a 22 XCR this spring in the same color with red components all over, love it. It came with the glove box liner. I didn’t realize this problem existed, since I haven’t ridden yet. Good to know and I’ll make the adjustments as per your suggestions. I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks, I’m SO Excited to ride this winter. I’m 8 miles from Canada right at the trail head. Sounds like your from Canada or Minnesota with the way you said “about”. Thanks! Enjoy!

Thanks for watching. I'm in Ontario. Fingers crossed for a good season. Ride safe!

Love the info. I tried to seal my 22 assault with no luck. I just got a boost and hope this will work for that as well. Thanks for the video.

[@eddiepotts982]

How do you like your boost? is it an assault? My SC Assault didn't show up till mid February. I kept my XCR and cancelled in Jan

Definitely will try this, as I stock that same foam in 84” lengths 😂

[@1442walker]

Can I order some from you?

[@23cummins68rfe]

Thanks for the idea !

[@davidheath983]

Major problem.!! They sure don't advertise their soaking wet storage box in their $15,000+ sled.

[@kevinhale1665]

No snow dust when you’re out front chief. 😂

The fix looks great. Does it still allow some heat to get to the glove box, I store my phone in it and the small amount of heat saves on the battery?

[@tracksnwheels]

I'm sure this will reduce the amount of hot air getting in from the engine bay, but when you are moving, that air isn't warm anyway. It's cold and carrying snow with it into the box. Most comments I've seen about heat is that the box is not as hot as most would like. With any luck we may find that sealing it off actually keeps the box warmer without all that cold air and snow blowing in.

Will have to find some foam and give it a shot. So annoying.

[@Joeys990]

Definitely a problem

[@tracksnwheels]

REPORT! I put about 500km on this weekend in perfect conditions for testing this fix. I can report that the problem is much improved but still not perfect. I'd say 95% fixed. It appears that with the airflow from underneath blocked you can now see a little bit of snow dust coming in around the door seal. Not sure why the stock weather stripping doesn't go all the way around 🤔. I will try a few things and report back.

[@1442walker]

Where did you get that foam?

[@tracksnwheels]

I had it lying around. It came out of a hard camera case that had customizable foam padding inside. Some guys on hard-coresledder said they found some similar foam in a roll at Wal-Mart.

[@charlesklesse9286]

@@tracksnwheels I found it at Ace hardware. Air conditioner seal. 2 1/4" square

[@Jagiles82]

I found a better fix for the problem. I should post a video on it.

[@tracksnwheels]

The more ideas the better.

[@Jagiles82]

I can share the info I am not good at the whole video thing. Can you message on KZbin?

[@cameronjuzda7246]
