Tour Pak Latch Adjustable???
Can the TP latch on an '08 UC be adjusted to provide a bit more tension in the closed position?
The rivets are solid but when flipping down the little handle, one latch is a bit more loose then the other.
TIA!

Your best bet might be new latches. They gradually wear over time, and they're not very expensive.

I cut a small sliver of velcro and stuck it on top of the lower latch receiver. It tightened it up and no rattles.

Well you could thicken up the rubber gasket seal around the TP, but I reckon I would just replace the latches as a pair.
One of the last few remaining things that are reasonably priced by HD-- until they read this thread anyway.....

the bottom half of the latch is kinda adjustable.... if you adjust um any, make sure to put some thread lock back on the screw
