Plan on doing something like that to my axis. Something else I plan on doing is a pair of 12 volt radiator fans way up high tied to the ROPS (roll over protection system). Then have passenger and driver rocker switches. 

Should provide plenty of air. Plenty of air comes in at the top of windshield. And help keep dust out of cab. I have a rear windshield. That helps a LOT but still gets a little in.

There are self adhesive rubber sheets with foil backing that are heat resistant and will help reflect the radiated heat you could try. As a bonus they also deaden noise. They are available for example, on Amazon, for relatively cheap.

I'm not familiar with that particular model/year but presumably like the other older models the cylinder slants forward under the driver's seat? If so it will be harder to deal with the heat due to the proximity of the cylinder. All the newer engines the cylinder slants backwards and is under the bed.

You also need to be careful what you block off for airflow around the engine because there are parts that require airflow to keep cool even on a nominally water cooled engine.

I had that same issue with my Massimo MSU500 .. Tried shielding the cab.. heat was still coming in everywhere . it was very hot with our  100* days here. The heat was coming from the outlet of the mechanical fan on passenger side. The duct exited right between the seats rear. And it was very hot!  Turned out it was because  the engine  was running 240* and soon blew the head .. after getting it all repaired couple times, we bypassed the factory sender on radiator and ran electric cooling fan 100%.. guess what, no heat in the cab .. When winter came we installed an adjustable controller to keep the engine between 160*-180*..   All is well now and you can put your hand on that duct on a hot day.

Thanks, but on mine you can see the exhaust right between the seats and the console. I believe that's where all the heat is coming from.

Do you have pictures on what you did?

      Coleman 400 UTV fuel issue
      By weasel
      starts up you have keep rpms up for 5 minutes till it warms up then runs fine. But if it stalls wont start unless you unplug fuel pump and hold it to the floor till it starts then plug pump back in and run it till it warms up then it is fine all day.

      Coleman 550

      I have a 2019 coleman 550 outfitter and need help finding out where a wire goes. I put a new starter in and to do that you need to tear half of the inside out! When putting everything back together there’s an extra wire that I can’t find out where it goes. I took pictures of everything before I took it apart and this wire is the only one that blends in with everything around it. Also the new starter doesn’t engage the bendix im assuming it has something to do with the wire?

      2019 Coleman 550 outfitter coolant in oil. (milky oil)
      By amiracle40995
      I've never seen the temperature go high on this thing. the fan runs almost all the time even though the sensor is  reading at the very bottom of it's range. ive taken the cylinder head off.  (nothing definitive but maybe a little fuel on top of piston with oil in it.i don't think this has anything to do with my problem )head gasket is 3 layers deep and I noticed some grit that might have been in between layers but nothing to say the head gasket wasn't intact.  black carbon build up on piston. I've looked all over the head for cracks from over heating. I'm about to look again for hairline cracks that are extremely difficult to see. my buddy helping me said to order rings in case they are letting oil pass thru he also said get a new head gasket.. I'm looking at water in oil first and I'm not ordering rings. I haven't checked the oil cooler to see if it's defective yet.  I'm just hoping someone had a similar problem. my only problem so far has been having to change the spark plug every 100 miles with 93 octane run thru it.
