Greetings. Does anyone else's Top box slide back and forth (sideways)/shift slightly? When I looked at the screws holding the pegs, there are plastic washes that seem to enable the sliding. If it is supposed to shift, anyone have an explanation why?

Aerodynamics. That slight movement as air passes over prevents that from being transmitted to the bike chassis at higher speeds, resulting in potential death wobble.

I just installed mine and all the back-and-forth sliding is in the mounting plate. It's clearly the design intent as there are slots and elongated plastic bushings that enable it to slide left/right. I've never encountered this in the past on other bikes I've owned but this is definitely how it's supposed to work.

I think Truimph came up with this floating luggage mounts first, I could be wrong? Harley out sourced the panniers to SW Motec and they know their onions. I still find Givi hard to beat for longevity.

I had the same issue, but after the base plate recall this is resolved now. It seems they have used different washers this time.
