Hello, I have question for the people who got the Coiltek 10x5 coil for the Equinox. I just received my Coiltek 10x5 coil & I notice the coil cover doesn't snap on the coil like the stock coil cover does & it falls off the coil. Has anybody else that has this coil have this issue. I seen somebody else who did a review on the coil have the same issue. It's nothing a couple zip ties can't fix. Just wondering if it's a design flaw or if a bad batch of loose fitting coils covers got out. Thanks Ed

I just checked mine and it seems to be secured fairly well. I think I could pull it off but it's a long way from falling off.

Just received my new coil cover From Coiltek. The new cover fits the same as the old cover. I got a elastic ban from Coiltek to put to put over the coil cover & coil to keep it from coming off. If I decide to take it in the water I will put zip ties on to keep from losing the cover. Other than that I like this coil and it will be staying on the Equinox.

Hi Ed. Just got mine today and check for tightness. Pretty good, won't fall off or pull off too easily. But not as tight as the stock coil on my 800 which can be a b**ch to get off sometimes. Maybe Coiltek fixed the problem.

Using the coil on land won't be a issue as far as loosing the cover. For anybody that decide to go in the water I recommend putting zip ties coil & cover so the cover doesn't come off.
