here is what I came up with thus far....
I Placed rubber 1/2" X 1/2" blocks over the inner prongs of the hood latches. (Drilled a hole in the center of the block) Then 1/4" tall rubber feet off a junk VCR (screws fit inside of the feet and the head of screw is then surrounded by rubber) I installed the feet to the screws located on the top-rear edges of the trunk nearest the lid henges and also the screws that retain the passenger backrest to lid. This seems to support any excess pressure from the use of the seat pressing backwards and pressure downwards from loading top rack. Did not require any modifiations to anything else other then;
I installed the 1/4" tubing fix inside the weather seal earlier.
*I checked for leaks with the garden hose directly at the seams and have none.
* lid now requires a little down pressure when closing and latch trunk.
Lid is now evenly supported and no pressure on the henges or latches when closed
***Bonus, My trunk popper functions again.***
My '05 GL1800 is a CSC trike Convertion, and the lid is equiped with a Kury. rack with risers, and tunk spoiler with brake light. I use the Kury deluxe rack bag, and a Kury. rear windscreen is installed.
As you can see from the pics, I am usually loaded for anything.
Total cost for my little fix; $4.00
Those little rubber feet can be found in the hardware department at most ACE, TrueValue, Lowes, and Menards, and some crafts stores. Come in packs of 4 and cost about $1.
