I just cut a unit in from another source---not Toplace----- and I'm experiencing something strange. I'm no spring chicken, been wearing and cutting in forever.

I am getting an EXTREME amount of buckling at the front, so much that there is no way to get it to lay down. I have stretched the hell out of it with no luck.

I have removed the "strings" that are sewned in, with no luck.

Anyone have any ideas to make this one work?

I'm just realizing that it lays as flat as a pc of paper. There is no curvature in it at all.

Matt,
Thanks for clarifying that the unit you are having problems with is NOT a Toplace unit. We've exchanged emails about this and I don't want to disclose where you got the bad unit from but it's not a Toplace unit. I've sent out a Toplace unit to you today to replace the unit that is giving you problems----that problem unit was obtained from another source.
Regards,
John
