How do you put the glass dome BACK after installation? I pulled it from the ceiling for cleaning the glass and absolutely cannot get the metal wings

Another option is that you might be able to remove the wings from the glass cover, squeeze them together, and re-insert them just into the slots. Then re-attach the wings to the glass cover. That's not how I did it (see my previous post), but it occured to me that it might be able to be done that way. I don't have my fan here to check it...

Try using some kind of lubricant, vegetable oil, olive oil, canola oil spray, works for me

I've had the same problem. The thing is designed to allow the cover to be pulled down part way to change a bulb. If you pull the 'wings' all the way out, it's awkward to get them back... you kind of need three hands (or more - if you need a flashlight). You need to pinch the wing rods completely together - and then push them into one slot in the middle of each side of the inside top of the box - while you're trying to hold the rest up - that's why it's tough. Once you get them started into the small slots, you can just push the cover up from the outside. The wings will expand after you push the cover up, holding it in place... good luck.

Your not alone, it's a little tricky. I put one side in and hold that side close to the ceiling, then I get the other side started and push it up. It may take one or two try's. Good Luck

You should clean the glass in place without taking it out of the plastic frame.

You should clean the glass in place without taking it out of the plastic frame. You squeeze the metal strips and place them in the slots they came out of, the spring action will pull the frame back in place.

This is an absolute terrible design. Your hands need to be very strong to pinch the locking springs together in order to slide them in the holes. Best thing about this fan is the light bulb. 100 watts

Carefully pull down white plastic vent cover. Pinch the 2 metal spring loaded wires and slide down the cover to expose the spring wires. Pinching the wires together allows them to be removed from the housing. If you need more help you can email me and we can set up a phone conversation for you. Good luck for now. Email is azgnilrets@cox.net. Stu and Kim

I am thinking you need to scrape it off the glass with a razor. Then soak and wash the window with an ammonia based liquid. Good Luck. It should all come off. You should wear a mask while scraping and vacuuming up the paint off the window.

The glass on the tilt portion has two metal disks on the upper corners which you use a machine screw through a bracket. On the bottom two corners there are suction cups placed on the lower bar against the glass. The glass provided is not a standard thickness found in glass shops. One of my pieces arrived shattered and I was not getting a response from the manufacturer so I checked with a glass shop to see about a replacement. I must give kudos to the manufacturer because even though I did not get a call back right away due to the person being on vacation they did send me replacements for both desktops so now I have a spare. And the gentleman did call me to apologize for not returning my call right away.

You unscrew the 2 screws on the metal cover and remove the cover. the glass then unscrews.

Wear Nitrile gloves for a good grip and make certain the glass is clean and not greasy at all, which if it was greasy would slip easily or fall - not desirable. Next, grip the glass with both hands flat on it and twist the glass to the left about 1/4 turn. Glass dome should then gently come loose into your hands.Simply hand the dome to someone, or set it down carefully, and remove and replace the dead bulb. Test the light for operation before reinstalling the dome, just to prevent having to do the same steps again in case the new bulb has a problem, or the fixture is not getting power for any reason.

take off the plastic ring that prevents the metal from touching the side- you need to unscrew the two parts of the light to remove the plastic ring. hope that helps

Sorry I can't help you with this one, Have you thought of calling or looking on the internet for replacements parts. I've never looked to see how they were made, I wonder if plexglass will work (??) You could use it as is at least your not loosing the whole thing'Good Luck!

No sure what you're having a problem with. It it's the black plastic base that holds the blade and gasket in you should tighten it well but not tight enough to crack the plastic. If you are talking about the Fully assembled jar onto the motorized base then make sure the jar is sitting on the metal stem and the metal stem goes up into the blade. If the jar is sitting properly on the metal stem and you lock the glass wings against the motor base it shouldn't move.

After you take the screw top off, I use a metal nail file between the glass and the plastic top to lever it up and pop it off. After refilling I put the top in the screw top then screw it on. The top will pop back on.

Try prying the top with a screw driver orpry bar. Be careful the plastic edges can be sharp.

I didn't get any instructions with the porduct on how to replace the glass. I got the information and know how by looking at videos of the process on you tube. After watching a couple of videos I realized that the most difficult part was removing all the glue from the previous glass . I managed to change the glass and was pleased with the outcome, however I had some difficulty getting the replaced glass to remain stuck on the phone. I eventually brought from amazon some micro 2 sided tape that I placed on the complete edge of the replaced glass and that did the trick. Good luck.

I would call a place that installs windshields and ask them what they use to remove the glue they use to install windshields with. You might see if you might get it to peel off. Sticking duck tape on it and pulling it off might get a good part of it off. Anyway good luck!

We did. Pieces are heavy so it needs adequate time to adhere. We took back glass off as it made taking the top off easier my wife and I took it off. Allow an afternoon so as not get inpatient

Just take hold of the bottom with one hand and pull the whole silver top off. It just slides on and off. Shalom!

Totally weird, sounds like you've done all the right things...tried a razor blade yet? Sounds like it is impregnated into the glass, the way auto windshields have an 8 inch runner of tint across the top. I still don't think the adhesive remover has any value...have you tried goof off or OOPs? Since I can't picture it, I guess if it didn't look to weird you could put the film right over the top & hope it doesn't look bizarre. Sorry that's all I got

Did you Any chance buy a new glass part? Or did you try some other brand. I wonder which Bodum would fit on the stainless steel part.
