Cut-Outs Help!

Ok so, I have some DHM cutouts and all in all there great, but now when there closed it seems to me like way to much air is leaking, sounds pretty bad. When I push the button to close it, it goes in a little and sounds great, 2 seconds later goes back to leaking a lot. It also has a rattle when in 1st gear just starting to go.

So I was wondering if there is any solution to this, maybe is there a way to change the seals or anything plz, need help. And dont say just leave them open! LOL I would love to just don't want to get the attention from the cops to much

Thank You.

You may find they may come loose again over time, you should get yourself some blue loctite and then tighten them down to avoid them vibrating loose...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I've had a set of Race Ready cutouts for a year and a half with no problems.
