Magnet/door damage

[fray]

This may have been asked before but a quick search has come up with nothing.

My reo grand is starting to get some damage to the magnets as they slide back and forth together. I started putting some noalox on them, but it doesn't seem to be helping any. Has anyone else noticed this? Any remedies I have not thought of?

What type of damage? Do you think double aught (00) steel wool would smooth it if roughness is a problem?

Do they seem to stick out and catch on each other? Are the edges wearing into the door?

Put a dental rubber band around your battery, problem solved. Door stays in place and doesnt rattle. I think it will help with your flicking problem too.

I think it has more to do with it moving in my pocket.

There is a small chip out of magnets and a lot of "scraping" marks on the magnets on the door and the body on one side. The other side looks fine.

As I typed this I did notice a flicked the door a couple times.

I wish I had a better camera with me so you could all see what I am talking about.

It does seem like this may be the case. Think a little fine emery cloth would make it look half way decent?

If it becomes a problem let me no. I can replace the magnets or send you a new door

Something else to add.

Redeye, from reading in this forum i notice your willingness to help and standing behind your product with the utmost confidence is really an awesome sight.

Not only do make the best PV (IMO) you take care of your customers like they are royalty.

Thanks man


I will try the emory cloth. It's not an issue of function so I am not too concerned with a slight blemish

Another door flicker here. I just got this thing and I can't help it. Must be missing my Zippo.

I am a door flicker too. A bad one

If you can isolate the emery cloth to the magnet itself and not the anodized finish.

Ok just getting started here, just a couple of days. But after reading this, I have now flicked. I could be a flicker but my husband would kill me. So I guess I will just flick in private. My name is Rhonda and I flick my Reo Mini when no one is around...lol!
