Thread: Dust and Waterproofing D2 airbox

Given the number of comments on the difficulties of water and dust proofing the D2 airbox join above (just in front of?) the wheel arch, is there a replacement (LR or other) or a modification around anywhere?
I don't plan on going in water above wheel height, but am very interested in a simple (read idiot proof) system that will keep the dust out and which does not require complicated re-sealing each time. Not much point in a Donaldson or similar prefilter etc if the system leaks in the middle!!

The D2 filterbox is a poor design. Its easy to miss-fit the filter lid allowing unfiltered air in.
Simple fix,buy a tub of rubber grease and grease the rubber seal on the filter. The grease will catch and dust and help seal the lid properly
CHEAP insurance.
