Table Problem

Our Lodge has a 9' table that was recovered by a guy who subsequently disappeared and we have a problem. Two of the rails have gone dead on one corner and we want to pull the rails off and determine why this has happened. The rails were fine until the cloth was changed and I'm thinking the two rails (one is a short rail and the other is the connecting long rail) are not simply not tightened down properly. Perhaps some excess cloth is causing this or the pocket itself has jammed the rails from seating properly. Anyway, we plan on loosening the screws and taking a look. Any thoughts on what we may want to look for?
Thanks

I have ran across this before and it was stripped out screw holes. It was an easy fix but time consuming. Maybe you will be lucky and the screws are just loose.

First check the rail bolts... there is a good chance that they are just loose.

If that doesn't solve the problem I would recommend that you contact the mechanic who recovered the table.

As has been suggested above the proper forum for this question is in the "Talk To A Mechanic" section.

Thanks a Million!!
