As anyone who owns a P5 knows, the noise that comes from behind you is loud. Especially with a roof and windshield on, it just reverberates off of them. Another issue is with the heat that comes up between the seats and the seat belt latch area, just ride through a puddle with a hot engine and watch the steam roll in.
3 yrs ago when I got mine, the fix was to buy some foil backed carpet to put under the seat. It was like $38 for a 3' x 4' piece. Wasn't quite enough and didn't cover it entirely but it worked pretty good. The problem was that it was carpet in an off road machine, always wet, hard to clean and started to stink.

Had an idea to use commercial roof rubber instead, thin so it conforms but tough and doesn't break down. I've had it in for a couple of years now. It's works better than the carpet because it's heavier and I never take it out unless I need to get underneath. First time taking the seat out after a pressure wash, I found two little pockets where water had puddled, cut two little holes and it's always dry now.

Evidently this rubber is hard to find in small quantities and expensive. The cheapest I found online was $100 for a 10' x 10' sheet. Then you have to cut it which is a total PITA! I've cut 4 of them now, using each previous one as a gauge and it still sucks trying to get it perfect. Too many contours for it to lay perfectly flat but it's sealed up good.
I think I have a good enough pattern now and enough rubber to make a batch of these for sale if anyone is interested? It would be $70 shipped.
Here's what you'd be getting, less some of the cuts for snorkel and wiring...

Which equates to about $155 CDN when I purchased mine.

Got mine installed today. Was a day late. Not the shipping that was spot on. Just me installing it. Sweated the remainder of my butt off putting in deer feeders and stands. Going this weekend to do more work, I’ll let y’all know how it performs. Thanks Trigger!!

Perfect install DoubleDee! Hard to tell in the pic but once you put the seats back in that front cut should line up perfect. If not, manipulate the rubber until it is, eventually it will settle into a happy place.

I finally got a chance to put mine on. Works great!
Thanks Trigger!

Looks like a lot of P500 owners here lately joining the triggershield group. A wise choice.

 

[DoubleDee]

Finally tested it out. Did about 3 hours of hunting driving errands today. Drastic difference in sound and heat. Honestly didn’t think it would and forgot i installed it. Then it hit me as i was enjoying the ride and not sweating. Great product!!

 

[Cavediver]

OK All you P500 guys and girls you need Triggers heat/noise shield.
I seriously regret not getting one when he first started making them.
We just returned from Ride Royal Blue where it was Hot as Balls and and the under seat heat/dust/noise was eliminated. My new favorite addition.

Ok. I got a Trigger shield for my new p500. Mostly because it was so popular on this site. Bought the "wheeler", I think, in October. Heat was definitely not an issue at that time. Bought it mostly because of noise dampening. Don't get to ride much in summer. In fact, today was the first time I've had it out in the heat. 98 degrees. It's crazy how much heat I can feel coming from everywhere the Trigger shield is not covering. Thanks Trigger, nice product.

Thanks 25, happy to hear it's giving you a more comfortable ride.
You bring up a good point...I made a few shields for other areas over the winter, shift lever, brake lever and pedal area. I haven't noticed the heat coming in from those areas this year, haven't had my throttle foot doused in water yet either so I guess they're working too? I know @Todd627 got a couple of them, maybe he can weigh in.
Btw, I made patterns.
