How do I get the reflector folded back down? 3 people have tried it with no luck! It's a beast.

Thank you Al, I had the same problem. Use both hands and twist in opposite directions - and keep twisting until it coils right up.

I have tried several times with no luck. I have decided it 's not supposed to go back in. This reflector is made for the studio and not easily mobile. They are nice, but not really what I was looking for. I'm a little disappointed.

I grab both ends and twist in opposite directions. That way when it folds together it doesn't unfold or bulk up because it is fighting against its self try to rotate in opposite directions. Either way grabbing and twisting the wire in the middle should work for you.

It happens to me all the time. You just click it back in place the way you want it (folded in, standing or flat out). It takes a little getting used to the way it folds and unfolds.

Try using WD40 and it should make it easier to un fold, its hard because of the shipping and if its cold its harder as well.

I bought a mirror also and realized it wouldn't adapt. I wish I could help further with the fix, but I put my merchandise in box and need to resale it.

Mine was folded also and I have never even tried to use it. Swanky Prints rolls theirs and are much better quality. Maybe try ironing with a towel between to get out wrinkles. Good luck.

PUSH IT! :-) Seriously, fold it as much as you can on the lines that remains from the first time you took it out and then the rest is just pushing it harder and harder! That is how I do it :-)

Contact the company. I had a packaging issue with my mount and they were super in fixing the problem. When you contct the company, they will have someone call you back. Quick response.

The poles snap together and slide in the guides along the bottom. When you need to fold it closed again you'll need to pull them out. Highly suggest watching the YouTube video!

all comments are correct. It is a tough little thing. So folding isn't part of that. The big boom comes off. Do a search for WeeHoo roof rack. There is a guy that recorded a video on how he made a roof rack work. I might do the same. mostly we have just rode it around our house. So I haven't worked on that yet.

You'll need something holding it down especially with a reflector attached. The ideal situation would be for an assistant to hold it truthfully. I don't own any sand bags, so I can't tell you from experience how well they work.

I didn't have any trouble folding it back up... bring both sides into the middle till they meet. Stomp out all excess air... then fold again continuing to push out all the air. Roll from short front end to back continuing to push out excess air. This should now fit back into the bag... add poles.

I'm going to say that I had to use all three bars just to stop the bowing of the bars just to hold a xxx reflector and the no fan. Witch I just placed it the 8 in Cut out. Replacement or Xtra bars I have no idea

Where the release button is...make sure you pull it up. It's kind of difficult and I actually had to look on youtube to watch a commercial of someone folding it back up. No there were no instructions like you said...very frustrating!

Its hard to explain wo showing u but the poles pull out a little before u bend them- lift them up and then fold. I watched a video online of some lady demoing putting it up and taking it down. Google it and I'm sure u will find it. Hope that helps

I agree that the picture instructions would be no help! Sorry I cant be any help, I am just gonna leave mine up in a spare room so I dont even have to try to fold it!

My wife's did the same thing. We took it apart and tried to tighten the screws and did somewhat, but it didn't help. So now she uses 2 books of matches and wedges them in at the bottom. I know that's not what you wanted to hear but it works and she reakky likes that mirror.
