Hi All,

they should just pop back into place, they are designed that way!

That's what i thought, but it doesn't seem to want to pop back. Have applied as much pressure on it as i dare, and it won't go back into place ??

It takes one hell of a push, but I've done it twice, and it does just pop back - just at the moment you think you're going to crush the thing...

Did the same on mine, extraordinary effort required to push it back in, but it will go.
