I have had this ongoing problem form time to time with the top plastic pin on my right side cover popping out of the rubber grommet while I was riding, which was quite annoying to say the least, in fact this had happened to Suzuki Joes right side cover also.
Well this weekend while I was up at my girlfriend’s house I finally figured out what causes this to happen.
I had taken my seat off several times to get at some stuff I had stashed under my seat, and after the last time I had taken the seat off and put it back on the side cover started popping off again.
Seeing as how the only thing I had done was remove my seat, I started to think that the problem with the side cover must have something to do with the seat.
Well low and behold, when I took the seat back off and looked at what could be causing the side cover to keep popping off I discovered that if you don't make sure that the lip on the top of the side cover isn’t behind the lip on the side of the seat when the seat is installed, it causes the side cover to pop off once you sit on the seat.
So when I installed the seat again I made sure that the lip on the side cover was behind the lip on the seat and it immediately stopped the side cover from popping out of the rubber grommet.
