P500 Sealing air inlets

[Adams1122]

I read somewhere on here once that people have somehow sealed off holes under the dash that air and moisture can get in. I’ve fully enclosed my p500, but riding around now i just know dust will be an issue with those holes under the reverse lever, down by the peddles, and every where else anybody can think of. I need help! I’m sure it’s great for winter/wet days, but I’m now trying to seal those same spots for the warmer months and the DUST.

Reverse I sealed with black gorilla tape. Brake I cut up an old inner tube and played with it until it fit well. Held in place with pop rivets. Still will never stop all the dust. Oh, did the same as brake on the 4wd shifter.

Yeah I've made shields for all those spots. Never made them available though bc they're small and a pita to make. People would probably b***h about the cost.

Years ago there was a guy that flipped a car shifter boot (the rubber accordion thing) and sealed the shifter hole in the dash.
He was running tracks or something in snow.
I want to say his user name was Solaris or something.
Sorry, some one with more time will need to run this one down, I have bold new graphics I'm supposed to be working on.

Unfortunately you bought the wrong machine - it’s an off-road utv.

JEEP and Polaris have much better options for sanitary riding.

Unfortunately, you don't have enough information to make that assumption.
Do you know his intended use? Do you know he has enough room for a Jeep or Polaris? Neither of those offer a P5 sized "sanitary riding" machine.

I was raised by an wonderful woman who taught me; When giving your opinion or advice always ask yourself "Is it helpful?" and "Is it nice?" Your comment was neither.

Unfortunately, he responded to the wrong thread. He was looking for the "Which Off-Roader Should I Buy?" thread.

Oh no - DUST was capitalized - there are better options

Hears one idea - this is what @trigger did.
His attention to detail is readily apparent.

P500 - P500 Shift Lever Heat

Not so big a deal this time of year but we've all felt that heat coming through the 2wd/4wd shifter hole. Feeling heat blowing in from behind the dash when it's 90 deg outside sucks and I swore I was going to do something about it a few times, just to throw it on the back burner and forget about...

This is close to what I thought I remembered.
I'm going to go with im old - no telling what I actually saw.
