Flexifoil Traction Bar

I just purchased the Flexifoil Traction Extreme bar. However the safety system which releases the bar from the chicken loop doesn't seem to go back together properly. This means that when flying with the bar if the bar looses some tension it breaks free from the chicken loop, any suggestions on what might be going wrong? or have I simply got a dodgy bar? Thanks.:puzzled:

Can you expand on what you mean by " doesn't seem to go back together properly " means ? Are you saying you don't know how to reset it ? Are you talking about the top hat or the other release ? How is it failing?

It's been sorted now, but thanks anyway. There was a fault in within the safety release which simply required removing some excess plastic.
