I removed my latch and redrilled the holes so now it latches down very tight. Locktited the bolts as well.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #432621 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 10377 Re:Need your help installing my new trunk 1 Year, 7 Months ago   i may try that boatmark thanks for the tip   Logged     feel free to look thru my albums email me at jasonwoody1982@yahoo.com my 2005 midnight 1700 ORIGINAL ROAD SLAMMER   The administrator has disabled public write access. #432791 jeckes (User) Hardened Target Platinum Boarder Posts: 1936 Re:Need your help installing my new trunk 1 Year, 7 Months ago   All the above are great ideas. What I did was used a length of vacuum line, sliced thru one wall with a utility knife and glued it to the bottom rim of the trunk. Did my hard bags too. Make sure you do NOT use the lid to put pressure on the new seals while the adhesive is setting...any spillage will seal the top shut very nicely...don't ask me why I know that   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #432801 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 10377 Re:Need your help installing my new trunk 1 Year, 7 Months ago   jeckes wrote: All the above are great ideas.
