Just had one delivered yesterday. Set it up and the button seems like it sticks out. Packing down it was not a big click but still obvious.

You say it's the same Do you struggle to take it down do you think it's a faulty mechanism

Mines the same, a little fiddly to release, it's the only minor annoyance I have with the brolly.
I Have the Solar Broilly also. great bit of kit but as you say, there is no positive "click" when the latch engages or disengages, and this is the one part of the brolly I realy dont like, I have very little faith in the latch, and find releasing this incredibly frustrating, and often ends in a lot of swearing at it

Wouldn't say struggle, but yeah you do have to fiddle about with it a bit. Got used to it now.

Thank you all for replying Thank god it's not just me Sounds like most are having same thing so I don't think it's a design fault just the way it works does everyone agree or not I had visions of having to send it back which is a real pain

Think you're right. Just the design of it. Putting it down I found I have to pull the boss down a bit once the button was pressed. Different to my old brolly which just went down on its own when the button was pressed. Also found when putting it up that you have to give it a good push to get it tensioned, more than my old one.
Off topic slightly, has anyone found a way to wrap up it nice and tightly?

Comes witha little strap doesnt it?
Push the mechanism up, to decompress it, then prsee the nutton, and it folds up. Not a lot more to it from what i can see. No positive click, but the way i know its folding, is when it captures me inside it

No strap

Should be a strap with it. Adjustable buckle thing to cinch around the brolly.

Exactly right push it up to take tension off the button
then simply press button easy peasy
same as I have done on every brolly its not rocket science FFS ?
