Fixing A Rattling Weatherseal - Standard Lid

If your Standard Load Lid is incorrectly installed, the weather-seal along the front of the lid can cause a vibrating sound at 80-100km/h.

This is very easy to correct and often simply involves loosening off the clamping points that secure the lid to your well-side, sliding the lid back and then re-tightening the clamping points.

Please see the 3 scenarios below:

The Below Scenario will cause vibration because there is a gap between the weather-seal and the front of the tray:

The Below Scenario will cause leaking because the weather-seal is tucked into the tray:

In the below scenario, the weather-seal will not vibrate as there is tension on the seal and therefore air cannot get in between the tray and the weather-seal:
