Trailer module.....

[SteveLaoyster]

Hi everyone! I just put the trailer light module on my RT-S over the weekend & what a PITA! I took my time to make sure I did it right. Getting the Tupperware off and back on the top compartment has to be done just right otherwise it fights back.

My main reason for this is I found that the rear of the bottom rear side panel can be lifted up about a half an inch after everything is back together. I noticed it when I was putting the rear side panel on.

(See pictures in posting #9. It's only 1/4". Sorry)

Is this normal? I didn't notice it before I took things apart. Here is a picture from the service manual for parts location.

Anyone know anything about this???

I just checked mine, and it's pretty solid. I can pull the bottom out a tiny bit, less than a quarter inch.

Interlocking tab

If I remember correctly, there's an interlocking tab with the panel below.

Sounds like I might have broke a retaining tab then?

Or just not latched

I'd try removing and verifying first.

Are you referring to the panel your ankle rubs on? Our 14 has movement and is not broken.

There are tabs to interlock.

If not that panel, which item number in your image you posted?

Your wording indicates item 6. Pretty certain it kind of floats a bit, probably fine, and not broken. That one can be a pain as sometimes it seems to have a mind of its own and the tab jumps out.

Sorry, I can only move it about 1/4 of an inch. But what bothers me is it's not tight like the right side. I just took some pictures of just in front of the passenger floorboard. Thanks for the help guys.

Correct. I can't imagine why BRP would make that side so it floats up & down but the right side doesn't. Thanks for the help.
