- I had all the covers off my scooter for the past 2 days looking to see if a person could design a easy install trailer hitch for the SWing and noted how much the covers rattled. They where just plan loss when installed and made alot noise.
I had some open foam tape 3/4" x 1/2". Very light weight stuff and cut the foam length wise with a pair of scissors. It only took 14 3/4" of foam to do both access covers.
This works great. Seals the covers and gets rid of that bad rattle. Great idea ... I wonder how many rattles that people reported could be attributed to this?? |

| Went for a short ride today and what a change. No more noise coming from the back of the scooter. Well worth the time and effort. DennisB |

| Nice mod DennisB.
May well follow suit and also maybe add a little to the non locking front compartment.
I hate rattles of any kind. Take your mind off the road trying to identify the source. |

| Dennis, I don't recall seeing this post but I've been pretty fortunate so far. I think I only have 1 rattle at different times. But I had a Majesty once where the rear cover used to rattle and it did drive me nuts. I did something to stop it but can't remember. But that is a great idea with the foam. Thanks. |

| HA! Thats where that damned rattle was coming from! Just did it. Tested it, and that fixed it! Thank you! This thing is sounding less, and less like a tupperware bowl full of lego's everyday!
I could see through to the ground between the plastics when looking through the access holes, so i taped across them as well. Between that and the rattle door fix, im sure the box will be a cleaner place to be!
THANK YOU! |

| I tried this fix a couple of days ago. I found some 3/8" x 1/2" foam weatherseal at my local Home Depot. It was the perfect size, and only took a few minutes to apply. Quick, cheap and easy! ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) Hint: thoroughly was the panels with dish soap and water and dry completely before attempting to apply the foam strips. |
