Add real cold-weather comfort to your Can-Am Defender with this cab heater with defrost, designed specifically for 2016–2026 Defender and Defender MAX models. This heater ties directly into the vehicle’s cooling system to pull engine heat and push warm air into the cab, keeping you comfortable during winter riding, plowing, chores, or long work days in cold conditions.
The system uses a coolant-powered heater core and high-output blower to deliver consistent warm airflow through adjustable vents inside the cab. A dedicated defrost outlet directs heated air toward the windshield, helping clear fog, frost, and ice so you maintain visibility when temperatures drop. When paired with a windshield and cab enclosure, this heater makes a noticeable difference in overall warmth and ride comfort.
This kit is vehicle-specific for the Can-Am Defender platform and includes all required components for installation: heater assembly, mounting brackets, coolant hoses, fittings, wiring harness, switches, ducting, and defrost hose. Everything is designed to mount cleanly within the Defender’s cab area and connect directly to factory coolant and electrical systems without fabrication.
Whether you use your Defender for snow removal, property maintenance, hunting, or winter trail riding, this cab heater helps extend your riding season and makes cold-weather operation far more comfortable and practical.
