Subject:Vibrating westy top - follow-up
Date:Wed, 30 Apr 1997 08:35:56 -0400

Thanks to all who responded to my note about high speed vibrating of my
westy luggage rack after putting in a new rubber seal.  Seems this is not an
unussual problem.  

Also as someone noted, it appears to happen only at high speed, with high
winds at just the right angle.  This past weekend I took a trip from NJ to
Anapolis (several hours) and the vibration thing only happened once for a
split second, while at the top of a windy bridge.  I'm gonna try adjusting
the top and the rubber -- I'll let you all know if I find a solution. 

Happy trails!
