    Side Rail

    Caught the side rail insert on the lift. Pulled about 18” out. How do I get it back into the rail? Thanks

    If the insert is round,like rope,you can tap it in with a hammer. If it’s U shaped,you’ll need to insert the bottom side in the groove and use a flat blade screw driver to work the top into the top groove.

    Thanks for your help. Used a heat gun to soften about 2-3” at a time. Put bottom lip in place, heated the insert and pushed the top lip into place with a large flat blade screwdriver.
