Troubleshooting
Grommet strip is difficult to insert.
Ensure the panel edge is clean and free from obstructions. Slightly moistening the edge of the grommet strip can sometimes help with insertion. Verify the panel thickness does not exceed the 1.7mm maximum.
Grommet strip does not stay in place.
Confirm that the panel edge is not too thin or overly rounded. The Flexiform design relies on a relatively consistent edge for grip. Ensure the correct profile is being used for the panel thickness.
Cable appears to be chafing despite the grommet.
Inspect the grommet strip for any damage or missing sections. Ensure the cable is centered within the protected opening and not exerting excessive pressure against one side.
