Honda HRX217VKAA grass in discharge mulching

[rbmisc]

I am continually having grass clipping in the discharge area when I have the mower in the mulching position.
Is anyone else having this issue?
The last sentence in the attached picture states
"In full mulch mode, the door is completely closed. All clippings will be finely mulched and directed to the ground."
I'm not seeing this to be the case.

Even with my door completely closed in the mulch position, I see some clippings in the chute. The door does not have a perfect seal and some of the grass clippings are forced by due to the air pressure. I always blow my mower out each time I mow and always move the Versamow knob back and forth several times to keep it moving freely. If you don't do that the metal slid bracket will get rusted in place.
