Pool liner slipping.

I had an invround pool liner replaced I. September of 2020. The liner was put in and the company closed the pool for the winter immediately after they were done placing the liner.
Upon opening the pool in spring of 2021 , I discovered the liner had slipped over winter. The company came back any pulled it up.
When I reopened the pool again , in spring of 2022, tne liner had slipped on the side directly opposite from the first time. The company claimed this was normal for a replacement liner. After 2 months they came to fix it at a cost.
I am now ready to close, and the original place that the liner slipped has done so again.
Is this normal, or should I pursue the issue further with the pool company? They were not owning the problem last time, and I doubt they will be this time. Also, is there a way to seal off the gap between the upper side of the pool and the liner so no water gets behind it?
Thanks for any advice,
Jane

They make a thing called liner lock that comes in a strip. It's a soft wedge to hold the dark blue bead part inside the hook of the track. 120ft is about $30 on Amazon. Buy it and it will take minutes to do the whole pool perimeter. Every vinyl pool should be fully wrapped IMO. For $30 it would solve this issue on every pool they do and either with a build or a many thousand dollar liner replacement, nobody would ever know they paid $30 more. Or $70 more with labor. It's insane.

The bottom of this link has a visual so you get the idea.


The piece that's out, or any others like it will massage back into place pushing from the outsides towards the middle. The friction from your fingers will help make it more pliable. It may take a few minutes of rubbing but it'll go back in.
