How'd you fix a rattling windshield bag?

Just wondering how anyone else has done it. My Fox Creek windshield bag is a nice one, but it's starting to rattle against my windshield at idle and during acceleration. I was thinking about mounting some foam behind it, but I thought I'd ask if there are other options I don't know about.

It's never happened to me, but if it did, I think I'd put a thick adhesive foam (maybe double stick) on the winshied frame then crank the nut down and locktite.

Clear RTV on the bases, let them dry and remount it.

We use the H-D bags on our Ultras but have the same issues. We got some of those clear rubber bumpers they sell in hardware stores for cabinets and under knick-knacks. The H-D one comes with a plastick sheet of sorts meant to protect the windshield - we throw those in the trash as they hold moisture underneath.

Looks good and these are show/competition bikes.
