Clipping every window on the track is a solution keyboard engineers on the forum created. It is actually against what should be done. The clips create heat then delaminate the lug.
Are you serious? I had a great conversation with Polaris's track manufacturer agent and he said they told Polaris they should have clipped the lugged windows. In addition he told me that the flat landers down East that run the 2.6" and 3" Polaris tracks are losing outside lugs on the trail as they are overheating and turning brittle. It is cooking the rubber due to the heat were rubber runs on the hyfax.
Nice try though!
If I had the energy I would remove the stock clips and clip the lugged windows and then there would be no weight gain.
I'm not sure what that position would be? Engineer, assembly line, sales? I think you need a more reliable source. You don't call the Japanese assembly line when you have TV problems.
But anyway... I'm not here to start fights. The 2.6" track is a great track option from the factory that needs nothing. Yes, I would love to not have the wear on the non-clipped windows, but I would rather not have de-lam issues.
The smart men and women at Polaris know what they are doing. Do you really think it just an accident they clipped the non-lugged windows and just went with it for years? What did Polaris advertise... The new 850 has 100,000 miles into development. I'm sure a chunk of those were on 2.6" tracks - unclipped at the lugs. They know what is and isn't an issue.
