Tunze 6105 magnet not capable?

I recently bought a Tunze 6105 for my 75 gallon rimless tank and the powerhead keeps sliding down the glass. Is this normal for a glass of only 1/2''? I have two Tunze 6095 powerheads that are attaching without any problem. Maybe the added weight of the 6105 powerhead?
 
Did you buy this pump used? If so, it sounds like you got the old magnets or ones for the smaller pumps. The 6105 magnets should be plenty strong.

Thats what it seems like, but I bought it new. It even came with the new option wide flow nozzle.

Weird... I would post this in the Tunze section or Give Roger a call. I would think the 6105's would have plenty of strength for 1/2" glass. I use the Tunze's myself (6095, 6105's and 6205's). The 6105's and 6205's are custom mounted to PVC and routed through bulkheads. As such, I don't use my magnets but my tank is also made of 1" and 1.5" acrylic so the magnets wouldn't work even if I wanted to use them.
 
Just wanted acknowledge Roger at Tunze took care of my issue by replacing the magnet pair on their dime. Great service!
