P1000 More heat questions P1000

[tincangob]

So much info on P1000 heat....... A lot to wade through for sure. I have a 2018 P1000m3 with a full Honda windshied and roof.I have three questions that may already be covered somewhere, but I can't seem to find the answers.

My question are:

1. My next step to reduce the cab heat will be to remove the doors on my machine (M3) for the summer. Has anyone tried this? I realize the dust problem will increase, but I think it would significantly provide ventilation which I DESPERATELY need.

2. I bought a roll of insulation to go under the seat based on a recommendation on this forum. The insulation has reflective foil on one side and paper covered, sticky 3/8 inch foam rubber on the other. I assume the foil side goes down, towards the heat source. I cut it to size with extra running up under the back of the seats, and it helps a little but it's not very neat or easy to remove. Are there commercial kits that would be a better solution?

3. Finally, I've not looked into the fan solution that seems to be the real, ultimate solution due to the cost and wiring challenges. Are they relatively easy to install? What is the source of the best fan? Where do you mount such a fan?

Thanks so much for any feedback.

The material used in the link below is better than what you described for a heat barrier.
