If it's the one in your sig, remove the liner from the lid of the tour-pak and you'll see the screws.

If it's like my UL, the passenger back rest is attached to the tour pack lid and has bolts on the inside of the lid. Hopefully "wobbly" is just loose bolts and not a problem with the tour pack lid.

Depending on the backrest pad mine is rubber mounted and does "wiggle" or pivot a little. On mine there are bolts that pass thru the pivot point but you have to remove the pad to tighten them.

OK, I will look into it further and give ample time, I did one or two minute glances in between the space the looseness caused. Ty
