Sprinfield Air Ride pedestal failures?

[Finlander]

My first (1997) Pro-V 1775 had a drivers Air Ride pedestal which eventually failed to stay up.
Other words it collapsed and wouldn't give you an air ride at all, only bone jarring get off the seat to protect your jewels ride!
Now a few years later (2000) I purchase a new Pro-V 1775 and now the air ride pedestal won't stay up in position either.
The warrenty is not covered by Lund and you are to refer to the individual equipment supplier for warrenty service.
I checked out the price for a similar pedestal in Cabela's and they want $129.00 for it!
Is there any fix to this pedestal or do I have to buy a new one?

If you take the seat off (4 bolts on the bottom) and look at the top of the pedestal there will be a phillips head screw... adjust that in or out (I can't remember right now) which should take care of your problem... after the correct adjustment it should stay where you put it until you pull up on the handle...

Good Luck!

Been there-done that!
Didn't work. The screw has no effect at all when I turn it in either direction.
The screw originally is pressured up and now it is down to the top of the pedestal.

Just got an e-mail from Springfield telling me that they are sending me a new pedestal!
How cool is that!
They get my nod for top-notch customer service for sure!
