Default Cafe Racer Deck Hatch issues

What have you guys done to prevent leaks? First time mine has seen rain since I’ve owned it this past weekend and noticed it coming in through the hatches. Seen on lip ship they have seals but are they for the Cafes? My seals SEEM to be ok but I wouldn’t be surprised if they are the original ones and are just worn and flat from time.

Replace seals with lip ship OEM.

make sure you get them placed so they seal properly.

make sure your drain holes are clean so water doesn’t puddle up.

drain holes you speak of haven’t spotted those? Inside hatch rail?

Default Holes in the deck go into the back of the hatches


Hopefully this shows the holes properly
