I know. A convertible boot problem... seems easy enough right?

Well Lately I have struggled a lot with getting the buttons to release from the peg. I pull and pull on the round plastic piece and it doesn't release. Any way to fix this?

 

takes more of a squeeze than a pull...
see if that helps.
squeeze between the button and the body. works for me-

 

I'll give that a try. I thought I had been doing that. In fact, I know. I used a pair of pliers the other day. Nope. Nothing.

 

I stopped using mine because of that

 

Try putting on the boot without inserting the pins. I tried it today and the boot stayed in place. As long as the rear stays in place -no problem.

 

what are the advantages of putting the boot on?
