RTV1100 Cab leaking

tn123 · Nov 21, 2011

Hello,
Has anyone had the front window seal leak on their RTV1100? It's getting the radio wet during heavy rains...The dealer replaced the top shell due to a crack, then siliconed the seals but it still leaks a bit.

I'd send it back to the dealer...I've never had a leak...Although mine stays inside, I have run it in snow/ice/rain storms and never a drop. It's sealed so tight, it's hard to close the doors.

Yep mine leaks in the rain around windshield, has since I bought it 3 years ago.
Keep it inside most of the time so never bothered to fix it.

Yes , mine was first one the dealer sold. Never took it in, the overhang of the roof should help but it gets sucked up there in the crack and it drips. Does not do it as much now though, kind of hard tohave it hinged and then clamp the seal all the way around when it is closed, maybe they need some hints from the mini van makers on this one.
