Default 2 pouch sg windshield problem

I bought the 2 little pouch that sits in the windshield, looks cool and I thought it was going to work great for small things but it sucks. It is ok when there is nothing in them but when I put anything in them the viberate and a constant bang or tap on the windshield. I even threw my round barrel key with a rubber key chain in there and it drives you nuts. I'm going to try to put some small foam strips in there. Think twice before you by these, or has anyone had this trouble and how did you fix it?

Did you install the four rubber stick-on piece's under the pouch unit that came with it ?? It's a must if you don't want that rattle. I found out the hard way. As your sig say's.....
Keep the rubber side down! :-)

I can see how easily it would be to not install the four little rubber bumpers that come in the kit. They are wrapped inside the installation instruction sheet that comes in a little plastic package. The install is so easy I'm sure most of us just take that little packet and throw it aside... There in there tho.............Putt

I don't have that problem with mine and I did use those rubber pieces.

I love that 2 pouch. I put my iPhone in there when I ride as well as my sunglasses sometimes.

I did put the little rubber deals down, also thought I could put my sunglasses in the pouch like some one said but most don't fit, the ones that do are very tight fit.

I to was a little disappointed that I couldn't fit my sun glasses in the pouch. But your right, I'd take it off if my IPhone didn't fit

I like mine. One pouch I place my XM radio and the other the antenna and my phone.

I don't have any vibration problems with mine. Besides-you must have very good hearing or it's loose as hell.

I have the HD 2 pockets, put on the 4 rubber pads and have no problems. One side I keep the EZ Pass and the other garage opener. I like it better than the 3 pockets....I think it makes for a cleaner look....just my 2 cents

Be Safe JIM
