P1000 Rear Seat Heatshield

[CMH]

Anybody done a heat shield for the rear seat on a 5 seater? I have searched and come up with a lot of threads on the front seat mod, but not seeing much on the rear. After pulling it apart, it appears I could run an extended skirt around the bottom of the plastic cover that covers the engine/air cleaner. Not sure if that actually works or what other folks have done. Am still planning the fan mod too, for what its worth.

Could you have just glued heat reflector on the back side of the plastic covering for that area? Something needs done, I just haven't been able to figure out a way to make something work.

Yes that works some as well

Awesome!! Ok, this is a project for this weekend as I have a ride coming up and can't be outside in the bright sun this weekend.

Which adhesive did you use? I have the heat shielding I used for under my front seat, but need a way to adhere it to the floor panel.

I bought this, https://buyat.ppg.com/rep_pafpainttools_files/Liquid Nails US/LN_LN2000_USEN.pdf , seems to fit the bill well.

Non flammable, works to 300 degrees

I bought a high temperature spray adhesive from Amazon. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, so no real world feedback.

Let me know how well this works.. I need to do something for the girls.

I saw that too. I read more and said working temp only 150, so I found the liquid nails.

Good catch. About to put the return function of my Amazon Prime to use...

I used dynamat extreme I think, real sticky stuff then sealed edges with actual silver duct tape. I rode pretty hard and they showed no sign of melting or falling off, with plastic as always devil is in the prep, power wash clean with rubbing alchohol and apply. Wear gloves when you place the stuff or it will look like a piranha made love to you hands that thin foil will cut you easy

The Liquid nails wouldn't hold the heat shielding. I used silver duct tape, temp to 300. I put a piece of shielding over the exposed area under the seats on the frame. Cut out for the latches. We'll see how it goes.

Awesome idea I've been trying to brainstorm ideas myself. Will have to try this out!

I picked up Rooster (P1) yesterday after the factory heat fix was installed, got home took it for a spin and it's a lot better, no fans. They also drilled a couple of holes in the frame tube that the gas tank is vented into, they said it's possible to get water in the tube and fill up and get water into the gas tank.

Hey kilo
What did you use to form the rear heat shield? Your setup had to be a major improvement for the rear passengers!!

I added adhesive backed heat sheild to the no step panel. That was the one I noticed to be warm

Some diamond plate aluminum sheet metal lined with the heat and sound absorbing dynamat, then line the edges and open spot with aluminum tape. Just happened to be what ever was laying around

Where did you find the diamond plate aluminum w/ heat shield?

Sorry I mean I made the shape then took the dynamat I had left over from my other project and stuck it on the sheet metal myself
