Any tricks, front is clipped in, two tabs by the handlebars are in, my guess is it's the air box, any tricks to help get it on properly?
Putting hood back on?

Thing is those torx bolt holes dont line up. Which is what has me stumped.
I know. Those are in lol. It's the air box. It doesn't seem to wanna fit.
Just set the front of the hood where it goes, don't snap it into the holes yet.
Install the torx screws about halfway, them go to the front of the hood and pop it into place
I sometimes have to push the hood forward to get the torx bolts to line up to the holes. Don't be afraid to get get angry with it lol

After you put the hood back on...put earmuffs on any nearby children so can can cuss up a blue streak getting the stupid quarter turn things to work for the side panels.
Headin out to try again. This bitch is going in and I'm ridin today. One way or another.

hold the hood with the noise pointing upwards. Position the tank end of the hood onto the torx mounts on the sled frame so that the hood lines up and sits flush on the mounts. Gently lower the noise end to position and line up the intake. set the hood down. start torx bolts. Make sure the instrument panel wire harness is on the correct side of crossmember for hook up. Snap nose into place. Verify intake is seated.Tighten torx bolts. Hook up harness. Go.

This is the one thing I hate about this sled. Side by side my friend was getting his pro together and me my dragon for winter and I couldn't stand the plastics. When I upgrade to a pro I'm goin to try adding rubber straps to the side panels instead of those flimsy fasteners. The hood is just as bad.
Pulled my hood off and installed a gauge riser, set the hood back on and lined up the holes in the back, snapped the front down and finished it up. Everything fit back together nice, did'nt even think to look at the air box could it possibly not line up and still fasten down?
rmk2112, 907assault, and thu man, thanks for the tip of snapping the front of the hood in last, makes it so much easier.
well i got it on, think the airbox is sealed properly, if someone wouldnt mind snapping a pic of it sealed properly so i can compare to mine thatd be awesome.
ill keep that nose in last tip in mind if i ever take it off again.

anyone? 
If you take the left side panel off you can see if the air box is lined up.
