Another breakage. And Ive come home with a cold.
Taking the tent down earlier, the spring inside the A frame where you bend (fold) the frame up, snapped off.
Any ideas how to mend this?
(and we smashed a bottle of wine I was saving for tonight)

Marvelous, thank you very much, I was thinking we would have to buy a whole new one.

One thing......I don't know if the video mentions because I didn't watch it all, but don't try removing the old spring, it's difficult and unnecessary, just push it further inside with the new one.
