We've upgraded to a bigger unit! Our 23 maverick Sport Xmr. A quick walk around, my initial thoughts and and a quick trail ride. Thanks for coming along!
Yes, I kind of wish I videod making the mods. It wasn't hard, just time consuming. I removed the snorkel covers, removed the bed and placed it upside down on the cover to mark where the snorkels and the cover met. I then drilled straight through the bottom at 90 degrees until it came out the top . This circumvented trying to guess where to cut the top as there is many converging angles and planes where the snorkels enter the cargo box .Cut the holes with a rotary tool . Re installed the bed , then placed the box up. Check fitment and trim as required to allow snorkel cover and clamp to firmly go over snorkel tube. There will be some gap on the top layer as the base of the snorkel cover is larger than the rest of it. That is not an issue though as the cover is roto-molded so any liquid that gets in around the top layer of the cover and the snorkel cover will not get inside the storage area because the seal is between the bottom layer and the bed. It took a few tries to get it decent because I didn't want to remove too much material, but it did work out OK.
I also very interested. I have a XRC model with the Tonneau cover and have been thinking about adding a snorkel kit. My concern is if I mod the Tonneau it will leak. How is yours? Does it leak much? Could you provide some additional close up pictures of your mod? By the way I'm from PEI and ride NB quite often.
