Default seat rubbing on the saddle bags

i own a 07 road glide and my seat has started to rub the paint off the front corners of my saddle bag lids i was wondering if anyone else is having this problem. ive been round and round with customer service in milwaukee they dont want to warantee this defect which made me upset even more that they wont stand behined thier product. so if there is anyone else with this problem maybe we can get enough of us together to get this problem fixed

Put some mink oil on the seat where it makes contact. Should reduce the frixtion. Hope it helps.

I"m not even close to that big, but, the side covers still get a little rub marks on them, get some clear 4' wide tape, and put it on the rub spots, that will help. And, if it's not too bad, use Honda Glaze to rub them out with, it works great, i've been using it for quite some time.

On my Road Glide I actually adjusted the saddlebags around a little so they didn't rub. You can loosen the bolts on the attachment points on the frame and adjust a little forward or back, up or down.
