I agree with @Cuoutdoors. Very little other then air comes in, we’ve been at speed through some deep snow and it’s never been an issue.

In heavy snow with the rig working you’ll definitely have plenty of heat because of the fan.
that rig looks great, what cab is that?I agree with @Cuoutdoors. Very little other then air comes in, we’ve been at speed through some deep snow and it’s never been an issue.

Custom build. When we wanted a hard enclosure years back no body made one yet and I wouldn’t really have had the cash at the time so I just built one.that rig looks great, what cab is that?
I tried this today, worked good. lots of heat, minimal snow, ,alittle but not bad, who knows when grandkids start driving,ha,I added a couple old mudflaps to act as sort of a schroud. cheap quick and seemed to work good.I also welded a couple wings on the bolts I took out so it will be quick to take on and off.Custom build.

well after the grandkids used it,the verdict was alot of heat comes out of there,the tracks throw a lot of snow on corners and my not so sealed cab lets alot of snow sift in, they all agreed it was warm in there anyway.thanks for the heads up on this free heat, Merry Christmas all on Honda SXS Club!Nice one!

Center of the “firewall”Where exactly is that access panel again? The picture was good to show it but I can't then click it it grasp of where it is. Start up front under the dash near the floor? what does it give you access to?

Sit in the middle seat and kick your feet forward, right there. Two 5mm hex bolts take it off.Where exactly is that access panel again? The picture was good to show it but I can't then click it it grasp of where it is. Start up front under the dash near the floor? what does it give you access to?
YesCould you not install a vent that could be closed off when not needed? Like a automotive a/c vent that You can direct it where you want or close it off.
this should workhere is the access hole and measurements,Im going to look for a vent to put in the cover
