I think some of the outrageous prices from international shippers are due to the new 25% tariffs plus the weak Canadian dollar.

I did the same using nylon/plastic washers and a screw from underneath, but the washers are quite hard and not a long term solution as I think they would damage the case over time.I ran into the same problem 2 years ago. I lost one and then another would pull out when I took the top case off. The rubber degrades and gets sticky with age. I resorted to some old rubber washers and grommets I had laying around. I didn’t want to use glue and surprisingly, an old clay bar has kept things from flying off for 2 seasons so far. Also allowed me to shim/shave them so the box was snug and flush. Here’s a pic of the cobble. The felt pad was the last resort but didn’t try it (water retention?)

The shipping was just as bad 2 years ago when I went looking (dollar was stronger and no tariffs yet), so I decided to use the rubber parts laying around and made it a tight fit. I noticed over time the original rubber stoppers wear out and the top box starts to rattle on them and of course wear them down even faster.I think some of the outrageous prices from international shippers are due to the new 25% tariffs plus the weak Canadian dollar.
