Jim, you might want to shop around for a new spray skirt. Some spray skirts have smaller bungie knots than others, some spray skirts have a bungie knot in some location other than the rear, and some don't have a bungie knot at all. The spray skirt that I am now using for sea kayaking doesn't have a bungie knot in the rear. (It has a small knot near the front just off to the side.) And my whitewater skirt doesn't have any bungie knots. In short, if you look around I suspect that you can find a skirt that fits your Solstice.
