Purchasing checklist

[LOBRI]

We're going to be picking up our new 25 1500 crew ultimate in a few days. I wanted to have a checklist we could use while we are still at our dealer to make sure everything works as it should and questions I wanted to remember to ask before we leave. I looked here and on FB and couldn't find any checklist people were using. Thought I'd include what I have for others to use. I keep adding to it as I think of things and would appreciate any comments you all have on things to check/ask about that aren't on the list. Our dealer is adding WD turn signals, horn and Polaris sun visors and mirrors so some of the items are specific toward those things. The list is in no particular order, I just add things when I think of them.

Not sure what the "Foam in the doors locks and catches x 4" for sure. I think you just mean they latch correctly? May want to ask if the door handles have been fixed so they don't lock on their own. Several have had this problem.
Make sure the winch ground recall was done, if not have them do it before you leave (very simple and quick)
Many of us have had leaking windshields than can be fixed by adjusting the hinges.
Could also check Bumper Lights

Hey Big Red, foam in the door locks and latches is a new thing Polaris is doing to help with air coming in through the latches in the pillars and doors. Added - see if they solved the doors locking on their own, winch ground recall and bumper lights. Thanks!

Got to get me some of that "foam" for my doors. I made my own last winter.

Don’t over think it. Buy local. Support local.

Almost all of that is done during the pdi.

Thanks Clubin. Just want to cover the things I've seen on here and FB as much as we can before getting home with it and finding an issue. Agree on buying local which is what we are doing. I did get a price from another dealer in Tennessee that is known for great deals, gave it to our local dealer and they came close enough to matching it. Win Win.

That is a great list LOBRI.
Like Big Red mentioned I have not heard of an actual Polaris upgrade on the door lock seals, that is encouraging.

Saw this on a Facebook post.

Thanks, I'll add it.

I believe that picture above of the insulation with the door catch, is actually a members post. I’m pretty sure it’s big red’s picture. Yes, it does help and super easy to diy. I had some pipe insulation on my work truck and used it, worked great. There’s other spots that I could probably tweak and minimize the cold air from coming in. But I just turn the heat up and crank the heated seats. I’m usually not in mine long enough to worry about it.

The checklist came in handy when we picked up our 2025 crew. Ours has the foam and haven't noticed any air coming in from the doors.
