"here is the manual's way. pushing out on pads between the top bows instead of letting the top fold in like it always wants to. (i just tried it on the other dart that still has most of the top on it and it sure did make a difference 4 inches in my case) it helps lower in about another 2 inches to get a smoother fit of the boot or in cases like mine the boot now does fit!"
No wonder mine won't go all the way down, almost though. I've been stopping the mechanism 1/2 way down, and tucking the fabric IN, looks like I've been doing it wrong. When I get back home (in the bush now!), I look forward to trying it!
Thanks for that info. This question seems to be asked quite regularly, I think you'll be helping a few people out with that info.
