Mine is very stiff and I feel like I am going to break the tv trying to get it to retract. Even then it is a 2 person job. Is something wrong with?

Mine was a little stiff at first too. Once I got over my fear of breaking the tv, I (alone) was able to figure out how to retract it with out any problems. If it really takes you 2 people to retract it, something might be wrong.

It is true it is firmer pushing into the wall than away but it shouldn't be too difficult. My 5 year old can do it so maybe you need to loosen up the joint where it bends. If not I would call the manufacturer to see if there is something more to do.

Even though it is a large heavy duty unit, it shouldn't take two people. While it is fairly stiff I suggest you reach under below and up over the set and rather than pulling on the tv cabinet itself, push/pull on the mounting brackets to take the strain off the mounting screws. It's safer and you'll feel better hopefully.

You will need to adjust the tension in the arms where they pivot. You should be able hold one part of the plastic ring and turn the other. This should loosen/tighten depending on what direction you turn it. Edit - Mine is very smooth and easy to move. Anyone could do it. You may not have to hold part of the plastic but turning that does change the tension.

I have a 80" and felt the same way at first. Hold TV in the center top and bottom. We don't move ours much but does seem to be getting easier. Good luck.

Yes, mine is the same way but its not a problem for me. I just turn it around gently and presto.....problem solved. Its works great so such a small problem is not worth time and energy.

Mine doesn't tilt back easily either. It's very stiff. It isn't made very well.

Mine doesn't rock at all, so I don't think that is normal. I'm assuming you have the yellow piece with the red button attached so it is secured to the rack, but other than not am not sure what else you should do.

This is not how mine behaves. Mine actually holds the top position such that it feels like you are going to break it just before it moves down a click. Perhaps they were trying to remedy my extreme and resulted in yours.

I just pushed it in. There is some resistance which makes you feel like it is not supposed to be forced in but a hard push should do.

I agree with you. I felt the one of two is loose. My husband told me that the both of two are loose because the screws don't hold tightly. Did you feel the same thing when you composed it? Although the thing doesn't bother us while we use them.

They are a bit stiff, but it's a good thing. You will notice when you get your TV mounted that the weight of the TV will help you adjust it and the stiffness will be nice to hold the TV in place especially if you are pressing buttons on the TV it's self.

2 of mine were like that. I just worked with them back and forth until it released the slit. Also try a sharp knife. They are just stiff. Hope this helps!

That is not normal. Mine stays tightly latched to the back while not in use. I can hear it "click" when I push it back in.

This is crazy, I'm having the same problem and I can not for the life of me budge that thing... my husband and I have both tried with all our strength. I'm about to throw it out a window.

You can loosen the nuts just a bit where the arms mount on the back of the tv and the wall, this will make the arms move much better. Hope this helps!

Based on my experience with the unit (which I'm very happy with), I would say there is something wrong with yours. Mine is very sensitive to any type of movement anywhere in my garage. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer directly.

It takes some finesse. You need to get use to it. Try putting some oil on it. It is stiff when new due to it being on a pressurized pin. Just like takedown pins.

It's really stiff, I snapped it on and since then have not removed it bec Iam afraid I will break it if I do, sorry I know that's not a great answer

my system is very not stable, I am afraid to use it at all, it sways from side to side, I would tell you to look at another model that is more firm...

I am at 5 (right in the middle), but think it is still a little *stiff*. Shop had set them to 1!
