Hi
Perhaps you didn't drill the holes for the flap pins completely
straight. I would go back to the manual and check the points that you
are supposed to alighn with and take a good look at the pin
alignment. It it starts tight and loosens when it is virtually
inserted, then an alignment problem is probably the issue.
What to do about it is another problem however. I wouldn't know what
to do in that case other than replacing the plates in the end of
the flap and re-drilling!!
