    Is my FP reader on my CF-31 (Pulled from a CF-30) supposed to have a loose cap... the cap is EXTREMELY loose and water will very easily get behind it if it gets wet. Any advise from the people that have this option on your 19/30/31 is welcomed :).

    I've looked at the back of the cap and it is all coated in rubber...

    Thanks guys!

    Mine is pretty loose. It was a bit tighter when I got it of course, but after use well you know it wears out.

    Mine never had rubber behind it and I also always wondered about water getting in there but so far after it being in the rain, dust, mud etc it has never leaked inside so I just forget about it.

    Creepy ain't it? All the other TB covers kick that thing right in the taco.
