Liner LOCK gap from coping

[Sfii]

Hi all, after opening up our pool I noticed these 2 spots the liner and liner lock have started to come out from the coping. The liner itself is secured to the liner lock (hopefully I’m using those terms correctly).

Is this an issue or is there nothing to worry about? There is a slight gap and I’m worried about rainwater getting behind the liner.

I tried to pop the liner lock back in under the coping but I wasn’t able to get it to stay.

The liner track shifting is the problem. You are not going to get the liner into position without getting the track aligned. And you are not going to be able to repair that until you are replacing the liner and maybe remove the deck.

Thanks. Do I need to worry about water getting behind the liner?

Maybe. These problems come with having a liner pool.

If you take the liner lock out for a few feet, then the liner, you can probably shim the low side up a little so they line up. Once they do, both the liner and liner lock will slide right back into place. .
