Liner replacement issues

[pmarinello489]

Hey guys, so I got my liner replaced last year, and of course this year I seem to be having some sort of issue. I've attached some pictures just for reference, what do you guys think? Obviously there is an issue but what should I do, and what should I tell the company that replaced it? We didn't really end on good terms last year as the pool company used a third party and we had some other issues as well that they did address.
Thanks again

Have you tried pushing it back in? Let me ask some vinyl pool guys their opinion- @duraleigh @jimmythegreek

Its a very pretty liner I don't think the fix is going to be too hard?

Well Thank you. haha You can't put it back in because it feels like theres 20,000 gallons on it. lol It's almost as if it is peeling away from the copeing.

Wow...it looks like the edge would just slip in to the opening, to me?

@Newdude ? @Bama Rambler @wireform ??

That doesn't look too bad. With a kettle and hot water on a rag you can easily put that back into the bead. There are some pretty darn good YouTubes on it the last time I looked.

Start at the edges and massage it back into place. The friction from your finger will likely be enough heat this time of year. If you try and 'pull it up', you're right, it's got a bazillion gallons holding it down.

If that doesn't work, try the hot (but not boiling) water.

Once it's in place use liner lock to hold it in place going forward. It's a rubber or plastic wedge strip that keeps the seam nice and tight. It will take some force to fully seat so I used a scrap of 2X4 and a rubber mallot. I'm not graceful enough to use a regular hammer.

Thanks again, gave it another go slowely working it in from one edge to another. Good as new. I need some piping, which the pool company said was on backorder.

Great news on getting it back in. Can get liner lock on Amazon...no need to wait for pool company. Newdude, JINX!! We typed this at the same time.

Your liner was probably a tight fit.
Mine is too. I have a very small section like that. Not quite pulled out as much. But it's right next to the screws that hold the rope thingy on (to divide the shallow end from the deep end) so it's not a worry since it can't go any further out.
Fortunately it had liner lock going all the way around and the installers put it back that way. I'm always surprised when those aren't installed by default.

Oh fantastic thanks again. I usually research things myself but you guys make it all too easy.
