My bags hit hard before new flash, now with new flash and tune the better bass response has my bags rattling at the top edges, I have rattling when volume at 1/2 volume. I tried tightening every thing down, locking the bags nothing works. Does anybody have any tips on quieting them down without putting ports in the bags?

 

Double up the seals

 

I thought about taking off the original seal and going thicker weatherstripping, You're saying keep original seal and squeeze more strip in?

 

No do not do that. You won't ever get your lid closed. Add weather stripping if needed.

 

You mean add a piece to existing strip but don't take original strip out?

 

Take it out and add. Will more than likely need a new seal after removing the old one tho. You could try it either way but I wouldn't double the seals.

 

Ok, Kool that's what I figured. Thanks

 

An old bodyshop trick for worn, thin weatherstrips, is to put a small vacuum line through the weatherstriping where the 2 ends meet. Take a string, using an air hose to blow it through the weatherstrip, tie it to the hose, lube it and pull it through.

 

That's old school!

 

Was told by two reputable Bagger competition installers one on the east coast one on the west coast, that what's making the noise is the hardware in the lid vibrating as of now they don't have a fix.
