Well there's some rubber blocks that sit under the cowl, probably not enough. Might have to have a look and find some spots to apply some thicker rubber blocks that hold up off the back section. Hmmm. More pondering involved. lol

Look ahead, relax & GO HARD!

The rub seems to be from the hard foam blocks at the rear and sides of the cowl. I added some self adhesive 5/16" x 3/4" soft foam rubber (weatherstrip) on top of the rear hard foam blocks, hold cowl section up enough so no more rub...

You're dead right Johnnyo. I just noticed that after my ride yesterday. Maybe I'll do both. Some clear film & some door seal rubber (or similar).
