    Well, the liner isn't loose, it's pulled tight, like the liner shrunk and is pulling away from the corners. So, I can't even push it back to the corner.

    In past years I've had the liner fall off on the sides and I've been able to use a hair dryer to stretch it and lock it back in with liner lock. But, in the corners I can't do that because the liner is stretched so tight.

    Hi. Thanks for the reply and the link. I've had to use a hair dryer in the past to get the liner back up to the track on the sides of my pool and it worked well. But, in the corners its pulling so far out that its basically a bubble of air between the liner and the corner with a gap on top where rain water can get in. I really wish I could post a picture because I'm probably not explaining it correctly. I'm also thinking that there's not much I can do besides get a new liner or at least tape the gap. I can't get the liner remotely close to the corner track even with a hair dryer and hot water.

    Tom, if that is the case, just tape it up. Sometimes liners just WILL NOT GO BACK IN You can use pennies, liner lock or anything else that will fill the track to keep the liner from pulling out further.
