Default Needing help with installation of new air ducts

Hello everyone,

Enjoy riding my 2008 Spyder RS and hubby took it for a spin but had a littl' fender bender with it. The air ducts, both right and left, cracked so I got replacements along with a bumper cover. No problem with replacing the bumper cover but the air ducts I'm scratching my head. I've with clips and without clips. Even purchased a repair manual but nothing in that to explain the "How To", and talks more about air filter replacement and cool air intake.

Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

RT here so I'm not familiar with the RS Tupperware...
Can you call a local dealer to gain some insight?

Thanks Bob for the reply, that's my plan when stores re-open due to Canadian Thanksgiving.

Here's what I learned after a visit to my dealer. Fairly easy which is what I suspected.

Remove the 2 side screws on the front panel then remove the 2 top plastic peg nuts. Hold new air duct in place from the exterior side with one hand and with other hand slide under panel. Secure in place with metal clips, use approximately 5-6 clips per air duct.

Hope this is helpful.

Shelly
