Default Rattling adjustable vents on fairing lowers

My vents on the fairing lowers rattles like crazy, I wonder if anyone has figure out how to keep em quite. Changed em once but it doesn't take long to get loose shakes and rattle on a stop light like bike is going fall apart.

My new limited has the same problem, especially on start up. The lowers seem to shake and rattle. I'm probably going to remove them for awhile anyway due to heat reasons. I don't see a way to quiet them.

One of the reasons I went w/Hogg Chopps, and not only that but the HC's direct more air @your motor than do the moco's.
Check out Bigdaddy Mike's for pics and you'll see.

I took my vents off, and left the lowers on. Plenty of breeze in the summer, but still enough protection for winter and rain.

Mine rattles at idle speed. I've been thinking about removing them.

That is one of the first things I did was remove the lowers. Here in south Texas it is generally too hot most of the time anyway. I do usually put them on for a long road trip though, just helps keep the rocks, bugs and whatever else off of you. But when they have been on I have not really noticed any rattling.
