Title: Sorbo channel help
Post by: wightsurf on January 17, 2012, 07:59:51 pm

I have droped it from the first floor ,and i cant put a new rubber in it ???
I cant see how dropping it would result in this but it just will not fit in there !
Anyone have any ideas please. Its as if the channel is too narrow for the round part
of the rubber .
cheers

do you have another channel? the drop has probably knocked it compressed/ bent it in a micro way
ply with fairy and see if it will slip in or if you wish to carefully prize with a screwdriver to see if you can open the end up, not great, once damaged not often ever right, i would order another channel at some point

Hi, i tried the fairy and have tried to open it up abit with a  screw drive.
Think i have made it worst as the plastic ends now will not fit.
Going to order another few i think.
cheers

nightmare innit, had that happen before on normal channel
how do you like the sorbo? do they swivel while in use, or stay locked
