    Edited: Didn't see your second post when I wrote this below, lemme know if you need anything now.


    Correct me if I'm wrong, but that picture appears as if the liner is bulging as well as "dipping, and of course out of the track. Is it? If so, there's more liner there then the picture suggests, which is good.

    A couple of things right off the bat. Read that tuturial by waste, it's good.

    What ever you do..........

    Don't use a heatgun or even a hair dryer unless absolutely necessary . Hot water can do nearly the same thing and it's much more safe. Heat guns and hair dryers are too uncontrollable, they can melt the liner so fast it's like celluloid film. There one second, gone the next.

    Don't
    use any mechanical device no matter how tempting. Pliers, channel locks, or vicegrips for example. Use only your hands.

    Clean
    out the extrusion (slot/track). Use some compressed air, or a good china bristle brush works nicely too. A tiny grain of just about anything can cause the liner to "pop" out. That may have been the case and it may still be there. Vacuuming will do it to, and not push debris further done the "line" so to speak.

    The rest is just conditions and technique. Folding the "bead" over on itself (to the inside) is key. It's hard to describe, but Waste does a good job of it on that sticky.

    Let us know how it goes........
