P1000 Side panel install

[vdefender]

These are the parts my dealer ordered to add the panels to my base model 1000-5. I only see the Clips listed there. Does that match what you're seeing, or is that the missing part you need?

i was looking at the OEM parts diagram on Rocky Mountain ATV. it lists the body panels and screws to attach them but not the rubber grommets that the screws attach to. Part number 26 is the screw. Are your panels attached using the clips?

@Plumber32 Plasti-Dipped his rig and it seems to be holding up pretty well. Far better than I ever thought it would. Maybe he's got some sort of magic Wisconsin plasti-dip or some secret plumber sauce....

Yeah, the hardener/clearcoat spray makes a world of difference

Is the hardener/clearcoat a separate can that you spray on top of the plastidip after its set? I was looking through your old posts, but couldn't find where you mentioned it before. Thanks

Ever get the rubber grommets issue figured out? I just ordered a new set of panels for my 1000-5 but it only gave me the option to purchase the screws for installation. Didn’t see any grommets on the parts diagram

they are standard 6mm rubber wellnuts. i ordered some from Amazon but haven't installed them yet. My panels are on backorder. As soon as they come in I'll let you know how they worked.

These are the ones that I picked up from Amazon. Product info didn’t say what thread pitch these are. I hope it’s the right pitch.

Those are the same that I ordered. They are the correct thread pitch. I measured with a caliper and think a 15/32 drill bit would be the best choice. A little tight but it would keep them from spinning when you screw the bolt in.

Checking back in now that I've done panel install. I didn't use any rubber grommets or anything. I just held the panel up to the door. Drilled out the holes and used the 8mm factory push pins to lock them on. Super easy.

Looks great.

I have the front door panels, just waiting on the back doors and bed! supposed to be here in a couple weeks.

15/32” bit is definitely the way to go. Used a little soapy water to lube up the well nuts and used a small flat head driver to wedge them in and then turned and pressed them in until they snugged down flat. It’s a tight fit but it keeps the nuts from spinning when you bolt on the panels.

I didn't realize that a person could buy one without the side panels. What did it cost for the panels?

I have a base 16’ and mine just has black doors, with the red panel on the hood.

Shiny! What was your reasoning for going with the nut and screw hardware rather than the push pins?
