9 Year old vinyl pool with variable-speed pump (replaced 2 years ago), original sand filter, and autocoder (replaced earlier this year). Water has always been clear, with TFP guidelines followed for life of pool (only liquid chlorine). Only thing slightly out of the ordinary for us this summer...

Decided to replace the plastic shims that sit on top of my CoverStar Auto cover track (originals were constantly popping out along both sides of pool). "Easy project" started by pooling out the originals by hand along each side. However, I'm unable to get either my new replacement parts or...
