How do you get the bridge and ramps to stay together? They fall apart the first time a car goes over them. It looks like they should have connectors

Grandson loves the set, but that is definately a flaw. Put it up near the wall.

I agree that a connector would be really helpful. We discovered if you place a piece of wide tape, such as packing tape across the bottom of the two blue ramp pieces, then it stays in place. If you are handy with a drill then you could probably create your own connector and discard the tape idea.

It sounds like connectors are missing....The manufacturer should be contacted and informed that the parts are missing from packaging.The connectors were included in the packaging of our ladder.

Same thing Happened to me. I even went so far as to send back and got another. But, this didn't resolve the issue because the second one did the same thing. Only way I have gotten them to work is puncture really fast. Its a poor design. Good luck

There are two car launchers on the end of about 3 feet of tracks before the loops. The launchers are spring-loaded. You place the car in the launcher and push the button and the car is supposed to go down the track through the loops and shoot out into the air . Unfortunately the cars, 7 out of 10 times don't make it to the loops, they shoot off the track. If they do make it to the loops they hit the connection between the straight track and the loops and crash. My five-year-old grandson gave up after less than five minutes of trying to make it work!

Make sure the wheels are snapped on...I did this also, but if you give the wheels a solid push, a very definite click sounds and the wheels do not come off. Press hard to be sure they are clicked on, not just put on.

You need to attach them with provided screws so they don't fall off. I did the same thing at first

I have put 3 together, the bottom section is already put together, you just have to attach the side rails. They provide tools to assemble the bridge in the box. My wife helped me we put 2 together in 15 minutes. You may want to get some help.

I had the same problem, one hubcap flew off on the highway. I ended up painting the originals and scrapping these.

This Northern Industrial Rubber Speed Bump do not interlock with the end caps, they butt up to them and then you anchor all of it down. Connecting 2 or more together would be possible, by putting them end to end. They will not be "hooked" or hinged together.

I have had the same thing happen. Anyone have an answer to the original questoin (a diagram showing how the spring goes together)? Thanks

Good question. I have looked high and low and can not find them anywhere. It's a great toy but the cars break too quickly. Ran into the same problem. It's a shame.

It is quite hard to take apart you have to pull very hard at the connections to figure out which ones actually fold down. We have marked ours with green tape now so we know which ones come apart. I have no other suggestions for you sorry.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the details of how you use them. I have a yes and a no. The problem is I am alone and it's extremely difficult to lift and place each wheel. And frustrating to have them slip off when moved. But again, I'm grateful for your time.

They work good most times I've connected them but I have run into instances where they fly apart while getting unstuck. I've also broken clips. I think heavy wire will not only make them usable again but also prevent them from flying apart. Will have to wait until I get stuck again to try it out.

1st time putting together make sure all the plastic corners are seated all the way into the connectors. Push hard but not too hard! Also make sure the frame is squared up with all the seems. Hope this helps!

Same thing happened to us. we used some wire and strung it from the supports at the corners for more strength and hung the lights between them. been that way for a long time with no problems.

I found the easiest way is to lay it down and then pull the entire leg and wheel assembly off together. The top was too heavy for me to easily lift off. I generally wheel it to my car, lay the top part in the back, and then pull the wheel/leg assembly off. I reconnect it the same way - slide the bar on and then tilt it onto the wheels and stand it up. My car has a hatchback - it would be more difficult with a conventional trunk.
