Big Pussy Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 My TWO passes arrived in the mail box today in ONE envelope, same as last year. Just about the same speed as Purolator. Now they can sit on the counter for weeks until I bring my sleds home. Don't really care what the numbers are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 6 hours ago, Candubrain said: Need help placing my sticker. I will be purchasing a high windshield but will be swapping to the lower windshield in warmer temperatures, therfore I can't put the permit on the windshield. Reading the instructions that come with the permit, I cannot make option "B" work either. If I put it down here, I think it'll look like crap and I don't know how well it will stay on, this plastic feels slippery and has a rough textured surface. Down here before the registration number might be too low and considered partially obstructing the license number I'm thinking this is the best place, but I don't know if its acceptable to put it here. HELP!!!!! thanks brian Option 3, or i have seen some Doo guys, place it on the glove box. So you can see it, through the windshield. Ours are always on the windshield, like your 2020 Trail pass is. Placing it on the textured black body panels, it sometimes does not stay put. I had custom numbers on a Polaris once, on black textured body panels, and fought with them all season moving and coming off.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another idea if you don't mind spending the money.....and what snowmobiler doesn't? .....install an air filter guard from RPM composites. I had to trim these a bit to fit on the taller windshield but work fine. They actually come in very handy in that the fragile air filter seems to be exactly where you want to rest your hand while standing up after crouching down for a repair, inspection or adjustment. https://www.rpmcomposites.com The ones I have ordered get to you in about 7 days if they are in stock. Good guy to deal with and very communicative. Edited October 21, 2020 by slomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to get real fancy, back light it from your instrument panel with a small led or use coloured electrician tape around the edge of the plexiglass. Good Idea, but I can see with my luck cracking the windshield when I drill it....thanks for the suggestion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just place it on the hood/cowling in or as close to the approved location below the windscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past years my buddies have not gotten the sticker and had to go through the ordeal of getting a police report and sending it to the OFSC and then have to pay $15 to get a new sticker sent. I bought my sticker in early Sept but no email or sticker yet. Got my permit yesterday and had a similar reaction as Steve Martin says in "The Jerk" movie Edited October 21, 2020 by Muskoka Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how the 3rd party company gets paid for processing the order on their systems, packaging on their mailing equipment and sending them to you. Not just postage which is the smallest portion of the $7 cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Pussy Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 When have you ever been hassled for not having the permit in the "approved" location ? The cops only care about the val tag and insurance. You will never see a trail warden stopping sleds. The dumb ass sled manufacturers won't make smooth plastic in the "approved location". I won't put it on the windshield because it just takes one roll over to break it. I put the pass on the sled where the plastic is smooth. The pass is on the sled. Enough said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one on the railbed in Orillia that does all the time. Hassles my buddy every year for his permit placement as well. But he puts it where there is smooth plastic on the left side and the trail warden doesn't like it there. We just tell him if it's anywhere else, it's probably falling off.

I love tall windshield and see no reason to go back and forth really. Only time I regret having it, is tunnel on D trail in musoka. Blake give me directions to go around it on road. Other then that I love tall windshield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what deal is with that but hopefully it changes. Frustrating free riders getting waved right thru, since they have Val tag and insurance and ownership.

Enough said. 100% correct for me on more than one occasion - OPP only looking for tag, ownership & Ins. Never been harassed for permit (that I recall).....and if you think about it with the online purchases for temp passes that are just a piece of paper you carry, the actual permit placement has become even less of an important factor - paying and having one is! Someone balking about where the permit is actually placed on a sled after you are stopped for a trail side check, needs to really think about what is important here, and clearly they need some direction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 As I see it the key difference on permit placement is pretty straight forward. Slow down and continue or get stopped. If the permit is where it's supposed to be it's easy for the OPP or trail patrol to see and validate. You slow down and don't need to stop. If it's somewhere else, like behind the windshield pointing straight to the sky it can't be seen as you approach a check. That means you actually have to stop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
