Troubleshooting
Case is difficult to open.
Ensure the Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve is not blocked. If the case has been exposed to significant temperature or altitude changes, the valve should automatically release pressure. If not, you may need to manually press the valve's button or gently pry it open.
Case does not appear watertight.
Inspect the o-ring seal for any damage, debris, or improper seating. Ensure the lid is fully closed and latches are securely fastened. Clean the seal and the groove it sits in before closing.
Foam is not fitting equipment correctly.
Carefully remove and re-pluck foam cubes to better match the contours of your equipment. For complex shapes, consider using a craft knife for more precise adjustments (use caution).
Latches are stiff or difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions or damage to the latches. If dirt or grit is present, clean the latches. Light lubrication with a silicone-based spray can sometimes help, but ensure it does not compromise the seal.
