spring snow hero, I have a mesh hood for my 900 RMK and also had a problem with power getting in at the left/rear. I made a block-off from fairly light guage aluminum. I riveted it to the aluminum tube that formed the rear edge of the hood and cut it to fit the outline of the console. I then ran some rubber edging on the exposed edge of the aluminum. Here's a few pics. So far, no issues with powder on the clutches when running the mesh hood.

I got some of those yellow peanut shaped foam pad's for washing the car from Canadian tire..... I close the hood and latch and the foam stays in there just fine and fill's in the gap quite nice..... Quick and easy fix for my Diamond S Mesh for a RMK900
