Our 2016 P500 the seat area gets very hot. Have to hold the doors open to catch some air. Running a full windshield, roof and rear window. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Lol. Just ride in the winter. Seriously, search the forum, there's all kinds of talk here about this and several members have made modifications to litigate the problem, but honestly, it's a design issue that you will just have to deal with. It bothers my wife more than me, she folds a small blanket and stuffs if between the seatbelt buckles.

A lot of us have lined the back and bottom of the seat area with a radiant barrier insulation.

Thank you worth a try. Removed my 3/4 windshield and it seemed to help blow the heat away.
Also titanium color header wrap off amazon. Be sure to get metal zip ties.Mat and wrap make a great difference.

Be sure to use this too if in fact you use the wrap on your exhaust, but mind you, nothing you do will completely remedy this design flaw. Complain to Honda as many of the rest of us have, and perhaps by the time we have to replace our 2015's, this will have been corrected.

This is what it looks like under my seat... spray paint and some scrap naugahyde help to blend it all in with the pioneers interior.

Just got back from a prairie dog trip in South Dakota where we put about 70 miles on the machine. It was in the 80's for the most part and I really didn't notice the heat much as we weren't doing trail running. I'm wondering though, if a small 12vdc fan could be located well enough under the seats to push the hot air out and away?
Do you have front and rear windshields? That seems to be the problem creates a vacuum holds the air in.

Front windshield and the rear area was fully blocked by a couple of two gun cases.

So I heat wrapped my exhaust. Is that normal that the wrap smokes? I bought the titanium kind...
thanks Moose308, I figured it was the waxy stuff on the wrap but wanted to make sure!

Rocmar is no longer with us (he passed) this is a great option for the heat and noise!
