[QUOTE="Steamer, post: 4841424, member: 74586"] I carry a small can of WD40 and spray the pins if they do that. Just one small spray. The mechanics said that they do the same. It works great. Cleans the pins and loosens them up for a month. I also carry a bungie cord just in case that doesn't work from people slamming the DIADs in the holders. They don't need slammed to bend the bottom contacts or the pins even. They just need set in there. People never think though. So they slam them 100 times to get them to work. Then it wears them out and they never work. The small blue Walmart bungie cord attaches to anything with the perfect stretch. You just loop it half over the front of the holder and half over the back. Slip it over the diad if it starts to jump out. Takes an entire extra second to slide it over the top and back off. I sure hope SUPs don't write me up for the extra second of lost time... :-) The WD40 works great for the door hooks and such to slide better as well. Making the days much easier for $3 a year.
