My husband greatly enjoyed the pictures and
says that it would be easier to thin the original Honda part
with a sander

(Girl perspective: yeah, I could hurt myself trying to do it with a razor blade)

I can probably karate chop through 10 PCX seats by now. :?


Yes, just use the same technique on the PCX seat and it will close. It will even behave for a few more closings after you direct your force through it. Also, I notice when it is wet it latches immediately. All about force and lube. More lube, less force needed. And maybe size. The material becomes shrunk in colder times, and slips right in.

Here is a possibility that I have not seen mentioned.

Check the vertical alignment tabs underneath the padded (upper) portion of the seat. Those tabs are supposed to go inside the helmet (storage) well; NOT outside. My son rode our 2019 PCX150 at university for 2 years with the tabs outside the box. I can see where this might possibly interfere with full seat closure, especially if this problem was on one side only and caused an asymmetry in the closure.
