OP dkrz123 Hooked Honda CTX700N Joined: UTC Posts: 332 Location: New York	UTC quote So the rubber weather strip under the seat is loose and keeps slipping out of it's track. Even after I pushed it back in, it still comes out and dangles around when I open the seat. Is it suposed to be glued? Looks to me like it should just snap back onto place... How do I get it to stay put? Thanks, dk

I had to spot glue mine - same issue. The seal has a "barbed" ridge that snaps into the track. It seemed that it required a bit more pressure than you'd think to snap in. Regardless mine came ;loose again so I spot glued it about every foot.

First the "hose fix" and now this. Really has me questioning the quality of such an expensve machine. I hate these little chicky chock fixes... When do the plastic side panels start falling off? Grrrr...
