Dust in the cab

[jimmykins]

FINALLY got to get out and put some real miles on my new to me Xpedition this week. After about 600 miles behind the wheel I must say Polaris nailed it!!! Very impressed with the overall comfort and drivability of this machine! BUT, there's always a but isn't there? LOL The Arizona desert is a VERY dusty place so what have you all been able to do to cut down on the dust getting in the cab?

Hello jimmykins,

Congrats on your purchase! Living in Southern Arizona I completely understand.
After purchasing my unit (XP), I parked it directly in the sunlight (windshield facing the sun)and let it sit for several days. I found that the weather stripping would warm up and conform the adjacent surface. Now of course I don't have the rear glass so maybe someone else will chime in.

I also found that during assembly the "Gump brothers" at the dealership misaligned the clear plastic and lower black plastic leaving open gaps above the rear seats. I disassembled the whole thing, realigned and added a nice piece of weather stripping.

Additionally, I added a small amount of weather stripping to the front corners of roof where I notice a small amount of water came in when washing the unit.

Hope this helps!

So you can adjust the door strikes in a little bit that will help with the doors, but what Polaris didn’t do and it’s actually a joke is if you look where your backseat attaches to the back of the frame all that’s open so basically the wheelwell area and where your bed attaches to the body right behind the seat is all open. You have to get in there and use some like black silicone to go around all the seat supports that hooked to the frame you’ll see daylight just put your phone back there with a light and you’ll see all the sunshine coming through

Like Vince said, the backseat area is the biggest culprit. With everything mounted it’s hard to see the gaps. If you pull out the seats, seat mount crossbar and the seatbelt winders you’ll see the biggest gaps. Then while everything is open you can check the joints in the panels to make sure they’re sealed too.
