TF_SneakyWhen setting up, take all you may need out of the drawers and place it on your side tray (won’t be much if you think about it), then put the cover on the box and sit on it. If you have the micro fibre seat you will already do this.

TF_mp.miloSame as sneaky,just use the seat cover.
Jaap stam on here makes them if you want one tailor made.

TF_paulcarpenterive put some foam under my seat so when i shut my drawer no water gets in. also you will find that water will get in through the gap you have between your drawer unit and seat. if your clever with that silicone saeelant it will stop it. but if you have a oldish style seat with the pole support sleeve you will always get water through this, the only way to stop it is to take off the sleeve all together.

snaggerGet rid of it, paying that type of money. (£700-£1000)A top of the range box and having to put the cover over the seat, slide a piece of foam under the seat or just get the old silicone gun out and spread it evertwhere,great selling point for Rive boxes.

TF_jaap stamBought my rive st 2nd hand from wilkie, dont think it was even a year old, with a wheel kit he had made for it for £350. Best box i`ve owned, but wouldn`t dream of paying full price for one.
Never had water in the draws, must be you fat b****rds, bowing the seat, causing a gap at the draws !~think -

TF_Nigel.I have my double side draw open all the time, and had the same problem.
I just driled drain holes in each corner of the draw, and in each corner of the purple dividers. -

TF_Nigel.No, my Rive winder trays are seperate, as most are.
It just drips onto the floor, but its better han having a side draw full of water. -

TF_piperpilotI must be wacky as I use a brolly(Waterline fibrelite flatback) so my Rive stays dry. Confucius say ‘It takes a lot longer to get dry then it does to get wet’,
