Rear pull-down screen

Anyone have trouble keeping their screen in the garage down? Either my magnets are weak or there is too much tension in the roller spring. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue in my V3605. Any slight bump will cause it to fly upward.

You can shim the magnets higher so they set closer to the screen, or you may have to realign them, or get stronger magnets.

I had that problem with mine. Also my screen would pop out of the channel on the right side. The one and only time I went in for warranty work it was on my list. The dealer fixed it. The screen assembly was out of level. I have had zero problems with it since they straighten it.

Try loosening the screw holding the magnet, to give it a bit of play. Solved the problem for me.

The striker plates on the floor are out of alignment and don't lay flat. This was found on my PDI and the dealer had tapered shims just for that problem. You could easily make your own with a plastic wedge like a toilet shim. Once you shim it and the magnet hits it with full contact, it will stay in place.

Thanks for all the advice. Loosening the screws worked like a charm. That'll do for this trip. I'll shim the plates when I get home.
