Troubleshooting
Bag is difficult to attach to the rack.
Ensure the correct adapter plate is installed on your rack and that the bag is properly aligned with the plate. Check for any obstructions on either the bag or the plate.
Mounting system feels loose.
Verify that the adapter plate is securely fastened to your rear rack. Use the included straps for added security if the bag still feels unstable.
Zipper is stiff or getting stuck.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax.
