Does the piece inside the adapter with the mesh screen stay inside or should I remove it? It looks like a plastic piece with a screen inside

I believe that the piece inside, along with the mesh screen, should remain inside the adapter. The piece inside is probably there to help seal, and prevent leaking from the faucet.

Take the screen off the inlet and I bought an adapter that fits inside of the inlet that the hose to the vacuum fits in tightly. Works Great!

You have to remove it. It's not meant to be a permanent fixture. Just the main screen -- not the side holders.

If you have (or make) a screen to go in it. you have to remove a metal ring (and put it back in). I just left the screen out of mine (just use it for portability).

Define loose. My adapter connects without ever falling out but it is by no means as snug a connection as some other adapters I've had. I haven't had any problems with the adapter though, if that's what you're asking.

I have used my 77mm adapter and it fit perfectly......the adapters are metal all other parts are plastic...

The bug screen I have has a slit in the middle. The two pieces fold over each other and close with the magnets. I have had oter screens in the past , they did not work out well for us and they did not last as long as this one.

Mine had a plastic pull out tab. Have you tried opening it to see if the tab is there but just got stuck inside? If there's no tab I'd say this is maybe one that was returned.

I have a similar problem.. but it's not in the red portion. Mine looks like it's separating from the black edge that meets the screen edge at the bottom portion of the bezel. Amazon is sending out a replacement as we speak but I hope this isn't going to be in the replacement as well.

I have the same issue. I use it at work and mine falls off with the touch of a butterfly. The adapter also doesn't power the receiver unless I wiggle it a few times.

Mine doesn't have anything loose inside it. If it still works though, it's probably fine?

Hi. To take the mesh out, just twist it counterclockwise. Use a damp towel to clean the unit. Hope that helps!

Wish that I could give you a good answer but, because of the purchase out of country it's always hard to match unless this is one that can be looked up as to fit it. I purchased a number of different LED Screens as replacements as I have fixed many notebook pc's. If you do plan to do this yourself I would suggest a good flat surface and take some tape sticky side up to put screws on. Use a plastic flathead gripper to take the outer screen holder off without damage as well go slow when doing this.

Yes! I have not had any problems with either putting the screen in or removing it...Also, have not had any issues with bugs getting through the middle of the screen.

I've just managed to get mine out. I used a small tipped screwdriver and just widened the groove between the dock and adapter by scratching along the groove carefully. I managed to prise the adapter out the dock quite easily this way without spoiling the surfaces. Do be careful if using this method.

I believe the adapter ring is plastic. If you contact the company I think they will replace it for you.

My adapter, as installed on my bumper, shows no scratches after several uses. If I decided to remove it, I am sure that the bumper would have scratches where the adapter was previously installed. I don't think that a piece of shelf liner would change that fact. If you are worried about the pristine appearance of your bumper, you should plan on installing this (or any other) adapter once and leaving it in place forever.
