Mainsail furler storage

[latitude1]

Hi everybody, I am new to the forum and I have a question related to my mainsail furler. The boat is a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37.1 1995.

At the end of every season we remove the mainsail from the mast furler for storage. Afterward when it is windy or the boat is moving the mainsail furler profile inside the mast start banging on the mast . We tried to tie the furler with rope going inside the mast and around the furler profile to stop the banging, it is better but it still banging . When living aboard it quite annoying and I am thinking that it can`t be good for the furler profile and the mast.

Anybody out there with a similar problem and a solution?

Thanks

I've sent a note the Kemp sails to see if they can make a dummy winter storage sail.
