Securing the tool cover
08/10/15 at 16:34:28

My Savage was missing a few pieces when I bought her, including the toolbox cover, which IMO, looks like hell and makes me nervous about water shorting out the battery at bathtime.

I now have a replacement hook and a cover. The lock for the cover is shot, but it does turn with a screwdriver.

I can't seem to get the top of the cover secured, so even with the "lock" engaged, a little wiggling takes the cover right off. I've looked at the parts diagram and I think the only piece missing (other than tools) is the moulding, but I doubt that plays any significant role in securing the cover.

What's missing? Or should I just put double sided tape on the top?

The molding is an over-the-edge molding and probably adds about a 16th to the installed depth. Is anything bent? Make sure the 2 little catches at the top are engaged well. Mine still moves around with the molding and everything in place but it doesn't come off.

I never really messed with it once I put the battery box back in the bike when I got it and everything fit back on.

This is what it's supposed to look like...up close

Btw, your battery wont short out due to water splashing on it. It's hooked into a system that has a MUCH higher conductivity(lower resistance) than water does (water isnt actually a very good conductor).
You could submerge that bike and the headlight would stay on for quite a while

I could have sworn it was a "T" in the exploded diagram. I'll give that a shot.
