Tarkus Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I have discovered that the left side bag leaks in the rain. I used some cornstarch for a water test on the Interceptor’s saddle bag and found leaks in multiple locations. I think the gasket, which I believe is made out of neoprene, has shrunk in general and/or is permanently compressed where the solid plastic of the lid presses against it. Attached is a photo showing the cross-section of the gasket. It is 3/4” x 11/32“. Does anyone think I can find/purchase a direct replacement somewhere? I’m guessing not, so I’m going to search for some weatherstripping type product that is ~11/32 inches wide and ~1/8” thick that would fit behind the gasket in the channel in which it sits. Any ideas or suggestions much appreciated! VFRJon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dash Posted July 14, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted July 14, 2022 Might try smearing a light coating of shin-etsu grease on the gasket? Seems to work wonders for sunroof leaks on cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
