Battery box not flush with airbox or ecu.

Anyone ever have this problem?

The ecu cover, fuse cover and airbox all sit correctly. But the battery box seems to slant just a bit. I removed the entire box and didn't see anything wrong. No sign of a wreck either. Everything snaps together like it should, but when it's all put back in, the side of the box next to the airbox sits up about 1/4 of an inch. But all the snaps snap in just fine. Nothing is "pushing" it up as far as I can tell.

I know it's not hurting anything but it's annoying me.

It's the cables that make it sit offset. If the cables aren't routed just right or any extra cables have been added, you may need to adjust the cables or cut the sides of the cover where the cables come up into the box.

Ok I'll check that. I thought I had made sure they were not the issue, but I'll double check.

Thank you sir!

Yea, the sides of that cover go waaaay down and make it difficult. Sometimes cutting is the only answer.
