Bike is a 2013 MTS1200S GT. The panniers are very wide on this model.
I have a weird issue with the right side pannier. Heavy rain for 2 days of riding. I noticed that the right bag seemed to be damp. No biggie I thought, with all that rain, I figured the lid seal might be a bit weak.
BUT, the bag continues to be drippy humid inside. So much, that I soaked my foul weather gear that was being stored inside. And this is DAYS after the storm. It's been dry for days here, but it continues to have humidity/condensation inside the bag.
I believe the water is being stored up in the latch/handle area of the bag, and maybe even dripping from the screw heads that are up top there (on the inside).
And, the bags are NEW.
I have a call into their shop that sold the bike to me to see how to resolve this. New accessories should be warrantied, I am hoping...
Anybody else have any issues with damp or wet conditions inside the right pannier?
