Qualitytime Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Just pickup my new Can Am. Looking to purchase a roof mounted radio system for it, with the possibility of installing a wiper in the future. I'm being told once the radio is installed the wiper will not fit. Trying to figure out options. Any help is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Daddy Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I believe it will fit. The wiper motor is below where the radio would fit. I put in a full headliner 715003098 for the front, and 715006391 for the rear. I have my backup lights, and overhead light mounted I got it because it hides all the wiring and tubing. If you look, the front headliner has the cutouts for speakers and where a stereo would mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelslinger Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 OEM Wiper installs on the glass. Won't interfere with factory header mounted radio. As for audio roofs, that's a different matter, as that would be model dependent, but still shouldn't interfere. OEM Wiper module pictured, it sits on the glass and is below the header where the stereo would mount (this is from before I installed my Infinity radio in the factory location).

Qualitytime Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Thanks just pulled the trigger on the factory system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelslinger Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I went with an Infinity Marine radio with matching 6.5" Infinity Marine Speakers (4pcs), and got a set of rear speaker support plates from a guy on facebook. All said, about $500 total and it sounds decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A hunt 2 remember Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 That sounds like a great deal.. Now for that wiper... 😉 And then????? Lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelslinger Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 The wiper is very nice to have. Especially on rainy/muddy days and even in some snowy conditions. My next move is installing my GMRS radio, rock lights and cobbling together my plow blade angling system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A hunt 2 remember Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Wiper for sure!! Especially here in the PNW... I actually went with a SIRIUS XM stereo.. added some tweets to the front speakers and mounted my rears straight to the headliner.... (no supports other than a screw and fender washer into the roof) haven't had any issues with over 2000 miles on Bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qualitytime Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Steelslinger did you have to cut a bigger hole in the front liner for the 6.5" speakers. Mine came with 5.25" trying to see if I'll need to cut it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelslinger Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Are you using the front plastic headliner? If so, yes, I had to cut slightly outside the pre-marked circle for 6.5" speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelslinger Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Brett - I used the ones Jamie Connelly (C-Werks) sells. Easy as can be to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A hunt 2 remember Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Here you can see the one screw and washer that holds up the liner from sagging... in the lower shot you see the door switch that operates my dome light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
