Probably at the point where the leading edge of the mounting rail and
the leading edge of the lip on the bag come together, right? I've got
about a 1/16" grove worn into both parts for a total of 1/8" of play.

Currently, my 'keep it from getting worse until I can think of
something better' solution is to cut some 1/8" rubber gasket material
(about $1.00 a square foot at OSH) into small blocks and fill the
space up. I'm not having ay luck with the glue, though.

Take a close look at the seams running around over the rear of the
pannier inner. That's where mine is cracking.
