Problem locking end cap into spacer

[Josh125]

For the life of me my endcaps won't seat in the spacers. Has anyone had this problem of them popping out?

I've had a minor problem recently. The trick was to make sure the locking tabs were fully engaged in the bracket. If the tab wasn't fully over the lip, then friction would hold it in, but it would work itself out eventually. Once I got the fully seated (and this is MUCH easier if you do it before you screw the mount down!), they stayed seated.

Thanks - for some reason mine just won't stay put! Sounds like a job for some super glue.

Use a flat blade screw driver to push the flat plastic part of the mount up under the locking tab on the socket. That is what I had to do to a couple of them to get them to lock in place. When you push the socket down, the very thin plastic of the mount bends AWAY from the socket, so you can't push it down far enough to lock in place. With the screw driver pushing it back against the socket, it should lock in place pretty easy.

Of course, you still have to remove the mount and socket to do it this way.
