That little SS pin that keeps the cart in. It fell out. I did jam it back in and gave it a bit of a tap but after a couple of outings it fell back out.
From what I can tell it was like press fit inside the plastic with the bungie jammed in there too.
I can only guess what a reliable fix for this would be......rough up the SS pin and glue or epoxy it? Maybe try to cut a notch too so the epoxy will hold better?

Press harder... epoxy... both good fixes. I used a vise to press mine back together and have not had another problem. Letting the pin snap back into the frame can cause the pin to work its way out, so being gentle can help.

We have a new version that is way better. The new version is not yet available as a replacement part.
