Himalayan 450 - OEM Rear Rack and Top Box - Rattling Issue

[shibsk92]

Hi folks,

Was wondering if anyone else has faced this issue.

I have the OEM Rear Rack and Top Box for my Himalayan 450.

Recently, it has started rattling, specifically when I go over sharp bumps or potholes on the road.

I have already checked the following:

1. Without the Top Box and only the Rear Rack, there is no rattle. So, issue must be with top box
2. There are no loose elements on the Top Box. The bottom latch and screws are tight and the box closes tight too.
3. All the washer-like things at the bottom of the box are tightly fitting into the rear rack grooves, so don't think any adjustments are needed there.

So, given this, I genuinely am not able to figure out why the rattle happens.

Thought I'll post here and check if anyone else is facing or faced this issue?

Bro, is there anything inside the top box causing the rattling

@Shainoj I've tested for the rattle with an empty box too, and it rattles.
