A friend of mine who has a vinyl pool says he's used thin strips of old credit cards to secure his liner and they worked well. However, he said that even better is to use 8" cable ties with the thick end cut off. Good luck!

I once had a similar problem, used a hair dryer to carefully stretch the liner and pop it back into place. I tucked pennies and dimes in to hold the liner for about a week. After that time everything settled and I took out the loose change and it has been fine for years.

Does this work for an overlap liner? I have about a 2-3 foot section that has dropped down about 3 inches. The liner is about 5 years old and this is the first time this has happened. I have removed two of the top plates and it looks like a long stretch to get it back over the top and underneath the coping strip.

With an overlap liner, you need to just remove the top rail and the coping strip and pull it back into 'non wrinkled' If the liner tore, as opposed to just slipping, you might need topatch the area but basically do the same thing.Originally Posted by gwrace1

Re: how to reattach vinyl liner in spot where it's slipped out of the "channel"
My wife and I tried this weekend to stretch the liner back into place using 150-160 degree tap water. We could not get the liner any where close to going back under the coping. I do need to make a correction. I looked at our pool invoice and the liner is a jhook not an overlap. We've had various small leaks over the last 5 years so I'm wondering if a liner replacement would be the better option. We also have several pool walls that have rusted out near the bottom I've filed a warranty claim with Artesian since the steel frame has a lifetime warranty.
