Can anyone tell me what parts and modifications are included in this fix? I had it performed by my Honda dealer and I am not sure everything was done. One thing is for sure, the improvement is negligible.

I haven't had the Honda fix done because I've read that others have the same findings that you have, so I can't help you there. What I, and many other members have done is, use an insulated foil backed heat shield available from a retailer such as Summit Racing and make your own one piece shield that goes from the front edge of the seat bottom, behind the black plastic seat space cover and then up to the top of the seat backrest. If I remember, I think the only holes (slits) are for the seatbelts, the two front locator pins and the center seat latch. You'll still feel some radiant heat but it completely stops the hot air from sucking up through the engine area.

Go to lowes and buy this. Take the seat bottom and back off. Run one continuous piece across the machine with it flush to the front of the seat and wrapping up the back. Cut around the seatbelts and put the seats back. Oh can ride with no fan and it's made a huge difference.


Shop Reflectix 100-sq ft Reflective Roll Insulation (48-in W x 25-ft L) at Lowes.com

Thats what I used, but when it's really hot, it's hot in the cab, it does help a lot but not enough on really hot days. The heat comes up between the back of the seat and front of the bed. I'm going the fan route in addition, got to get this done before Bear Creek get together.

I had the seat heat fix done when I got the clutch and fuel system recalls done. Seems that the rubber sheet material is their go to. I noticed no difference but I did my 7" fan install already so it was already much better. If I get the time, I may add the bubble-type insulation just for grins.

The guys at the dealership were well impressed with the mods I made... dual battery, vent relocation, switch panel, lights, etc... with insight from you all. Appreciate it!

Hondas Heat Kit consist of multiple parts.

Only 3 will be visible without removing the panel between the upper and lower seats.

The 1st (and easiest) will be the small rubber pad glued to the panel between the seats. The 2nd one will require lifting the bed, look at the back of the upper seat around the air cleaner cover. There should be rubber sheet that covers the back of the middle panel and is attached with two loops on the cross bar. The 3rd will be the rubber seal attached to the top of the middle panel, which will be visible after the bed is lifted as well.

You can also look at the middle panel and see check for body clips that have been added, 1 under the rubber flap covering the drivers side seat buckles. It'll will near the top middle of the opening surrounding those buckles. There are then 4 more of these clips near the top of the middle panel as well

Like many have stated, its not really a big help. The most it does is to keep steam from coming up under the seat when you splash though water. It's more or less a lawsuit protector, hence the reason its not called a "recall".
