I just bought a house with a 20Kish gal, Gretian corner 16x32 ingeound fiberglass shell inground pool with nivyl liner pool which was maintained (using the term loosely) by a DIYer who did everything poorly. The liner is coming out of the wall in a couple places. It still has a few years left so I don't want to replace it yet, just get it back in. I used the hot water trick which was awesome until I realized it doesn't just go into the space where the coping (I think that's what it is) meets the shell. There is a weird railing like a centimeter under the trim/coping the liner goes over and inserts into (atraching a crude drawing!). But even with using a spatula to wedge it in, it pops back out.
I am attaching a pic and also a poor drawing trying to explain what I mean because I don't know what the word for that railing is. I tried the coil of coping insert stuff from Amazon but it doesn't work because like I said the liner doesn't insert perpendicular to the coping so there's nothing for this product to latch onto. I was thinking of getting some plastic shims and cut them to size but I don't want to put pressure on the railing if that is not appropriate.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to hold the liner in place? Of what that weird rail is called so I can look up the products I need?
Thanks!
