I have a set of OEM panniers and one of them does not close tightly. My guess is that you can adjust the closure to some degree. Has anyone done this and if so, any tips. Thanks

I am not aware of any method for adjusting them.  Can you explain where you see an issue?

Do you mean adjusting the latch so it closes the door a little tighter?

I've no idea if this can be done or whether there is a designed means to do this but it should not be beyond the wit of man to fudge it.

Yes, I am talking about getting the latch to close more tightly. I have a larger gap at the front of the bag then at the rear. I guess I will just have to pull the interior panel on the underside of the bag to see what I can see....It has to be adjustable I would think

A gap that you can see through to the inside of the case?

A small section of rubber along the clasp should pull the door more closed.

You cannot see through it, but it is barely closed. Water would for sure penetrate the area. I'll try and get a pic later

One of my bags is the same way.  If you figure it out, let me know.  Mine has never leaked... but if it's an easy fix, I'll give it a whirl.
