Stock seat front gap

[NLS]

I prefer to have my stock seat in high-front-low-rear position (which is not "officially supported" since the manual says it could unlock - but doesn't).

Unfortunately this arrangement leaves quite a big gap between the seat and the gas-tank and I can even see my battery! I suspect this is no good for rainy days.

I think even front and rear both at high position leaves a gap.

Is there any "fix" for that? (and I don't mean a different seat)

I've used my stock seat like this in the UK for years and even in the heaviest rain, no problems have occurred. Don't worry about it.

Just make sure that the battery terminals are greased up (Vasaline). The batery on my Passat is exposed to the elements under the bonnet.

I fitted a sheepskin seat cover to make the seat more comfortable on my last European tour, planning to remove it for daily use. However I've left it on as it does a great job of hiding said unsightly gap.
