I just pulled the panniers off the bike and brought them inside. I see
what you mean. The gasket presses against the inside edge of the lid
side. On my right pannier (haven't done anything with the left yet) I
ran a "leak test." I took it outside and hit it with water from a
garden hose for about 30 sec. I then opened it up to try and find leak
points. It appears to come at least partly from the seam Bill is
talking about. I also had a little water make it around the gasket (I
could see wet spots on the inside edge of the gasket). So I'm going to
seal the seam, and then play a little with other ways to get a tighter
seal. I think part of the problem is that the gasket is too soft
(mentioned here before IIRC).

The lid side fits into that gasket IIRC...the "lip" I mention that I'd
sealed
on the old bike is that lip from the gasket "holder" where it attaches
to the
bike side as I was getting water in between the shell and that piece.
