I forgot to put the bottom on before I snapped all the sides in. Is there any way to unsnap it?? I cant get it undone. Help...... Thanks

The pieces are not designed to come apart. However, when I was putting mine together I had to do this as well. I used a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry the snaps apart; hopefully this works for you as well. Good luck!

GHW Disassembly instructions (from the manufacturer). This was super quick to fix! 1. Wedge a slotted head screw driver between the 1st and 2nd layer of plastic. 2. Pry up on the screwdriver to release the snap. 3. Wedge the slotted head screw driver between the 1st and 2nd layer of of plastic at the corner of the unit. 4. Do the same at, approximately, 1/3 up the height of the unit. 5. the corner should now come apart 6. There should be enough room to insert the floor.

Yes. Carefully unsnap one side connection and slip the bottom into the space and make it fit where it belongs and then re-snap the side that you loosened. This should work but be very careful as you don't want to ruin the connectors. It is pretty tough but still be careful. Good luck! Sorry you are having issues but I am sure with care you can undo what you have done with the sides and replace the bottom and then re-do the sides again.

oh no! I don't know if it can be undone or not. However, I buy the 33 gallon bags and once the top is snapped back on it holds the bags securely. The bottom could probably be left off and it would still function. But I'm sure you would rather have it on there.... good luck!

We did the same thing, but I can't remember for sure. I think my husband knocked it apart with his hand and then redid it. Also you will find it helpful to put something heavy in the bottom of it before you put the bag in. This will help as an aid when you go to remove the bag.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top.**UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

Hi Helena, I guess theres no trick...too much of muscle power.. I had this problem, i somehow forced it into the base and it is stuck forever now i guess the two side bars went inside the middle one is out...but its locked

Hold the middle part where the roll goes while you unscrew the red end piece. You may need to do the same on the other side, then will need to do a similar process to resecure a new role.

Just barely 'tap' that little button at the side of the top step. Don't force, just a 'baby-touch' moves it to the folding position. That's all it takes. Then it will fold closed again. Write back if you can't get it. It's easier than it seems! (That little button moves a lever.) Got it yet? :) I hope so. :)

I took it apart and flipped it around. It was put together backwards. I hope this helps.

Same thing happened to me. I just started to take it apart to clean it then the bottom part released. Hope this helps

I'm not sure what you're asking- the laptop doesn't snap shut, or one of the case pieces doesn't snap in place? I had a little difficulty putting my bottom piece on. My solution was holding one corner in place and run my other hand along the front and sides, then used both hands to snap in the vent area. Hope that helps!

It is not easy... especially the first time! Look for the "latched" part on the long edge. Kind of push in the one part and pry the other apart. Once it has been opened, it is a little easier the next time. Hope this helps a little. I'm sorry I don't know how to be more specific in writing.

So glad you asked that question. I just got my unit and have been trying to take the top off for the past 15 minutes. Finally looked here and was relieved that it's not just me. Finally I got it off - no secret - just brute strength. :-)

I've locked it and pulled on the strap until the one side pops open. Then I've pulled on open part kind of like an open mouth. Once that came off just pealled off adhesive. The otherside where the lock itself pushes in to...I've stuck a butter knife to pop it off or a fork. The package says warm soapy water. I should probably try that too. Sorry if this is confusing...hard to explain. Basically I would try one part/piece at a time...to break off...then the adhesive.

I have large hands and I found the only way I could get it off was to hold the base in my left hand and twist the cover with my right (takes a lot of strength, like you are opening a pickle jar, etc.) It took me several minutes, but it did come off. Sorry, that's probably not helpful, but maybe if you used a gripper (like you would use to open jars, etc.) to help hold it in place, it might help. I ended up returning mine b/c I had so many issues with it, least of which was the difficulty in getting it apart.

There's two divits on the right side of the case and you can unsnap it there. And then the silicone piece just slips off. Hope this helps.

Wrap the velcro in the opposite direction. I've never had this problem with mine, but I had a friend who did. He was wrapping the velcro the wrong way.

Pick an edge and pry it slowly off...it kinda hurts fingers a bit..better tight than loose..good luck.

I started at the bottom and lifted the black rubber up. I gently pulled it off the bottom corners then slipped it off. I would try not to stretch it too much or it won't stay tight on the plastic when you put it back on.

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again
