    Thanks Waste
    I was just afraid I was about to be buried in about 17,000 gallons of water when I removed the top rails.
    I can't get to the track at all on mine without removing them. and naturally it is mostly on both sides of an upright.


    I don't know why I had so many this spring when I removed the cover. Six places I think.

    Does the penny really work?

    Thumbs up Re: A-B-Cs of liner tucks

    Glad I was able to help

    The penny (sometimes you need to use more than 1) trick does work - what you are trying to do is put a wedge in the track where the liner is trying to come out to keep downward pressure on the liner at the track so that the 'barb' on the bead will stay locked onto the track. As such, anything you can use to make that wedge will work, be it coins or pieces of credit card, etc.

    Here's another technique using duct tape for extra leverage.

    It's pretty simple actually. Create handles from the duct tape and tape them down to the liner. You need to use a lot of tape to get it secure them but it should ultimately give you the leverage you need to get the job done.

    Welcome to the forum!

    I must be doing it wrong when I've tried the duct tape trick - the d*mn tape always tears and I end up punching myself in the mouth

    However, it's a good tool to add to the arsenal (as long as whoever is trying it is more coordinated than I)

    LOL. That's one of my favorite things to see. The guys do it in the shop at least once a month when they are moving liners around.

    The trick is to double, triple, quadruple the tape up and make some good sturdy loops and tape the heck out of them. If the water level is lowered its easier to get a good amount of tape on the liner.

    Maybe try it with sparing gear next time

    ...and thanks for the warm welcome.
