givi top rack rattles

Hi all,
I installed a Givi V42 top case last weekend via the Givi adapter
plate for our rear racks. I couldn't get the "wedge" piece that you
screw onto the trailing edge of the adapter plate to snug up tight to
the plate. (Or, more accurately, I was afraid to apply any more
torque to the Allen-head mounting screws to get the wedge tight.)
Now, with the millimeter or two of free play that the wedge has, I
have this annoying tinkly rattling sound as I ride, even with the case
in place.
Is the wedge supposed to be snug? If so, should I just crank away at
the mounting screws, or should I just buy shorter screws?
TIA!

I have had good luck with a bicycle clock/computer. I swiped it off my
mountain bike about three years ago and velcro'd it on my KLR's dash. Been
working like a charm ever since. Gets lots of rain (I live in the Northwest)
and have had no trouble with vibration or being able to see it.
Just check out any decent bicycle shop, they are pretty inexpensive these
days if you just buy a basic computer since all you really want is the clock
use.
