I've just installed the F-3T passenger backrest (219 400 499) in the pic and torqued all the screws per the instructions. The completed assembly has a slight wobble at the tubes coming up from the right and left backrest supports. There was no torque spec given for these screws so I'm reaching out to anyone else who has encountered the same problem or knows the correct torque spec.
FYI, it was an easy installation except the left side latching mechanism seemed to stick about half way through its travel and wouldn't lock-in as it's supposed to. I tried a few times (wishing I knew some swear words in French) and resorted to tapping it with a mallet when it got stuck. Then it went into the proper position and stayed there. So the "easy removal" feature may not be as easy as I expected.
I'm waiting for a reply from Can-Am about both issues.
