Set them in the sun for a little bit? I haven't noticed any more
problem than usual snapping them on a Force200 in below freezing
weather. Although the last one I did actually broke off one of the
clips when it snapped on. Just pray you never have to take one off....
I think you have to remember that the designers of the equipment have
never actually set foot outside the office. Everything assembles fine
when it's done with all parts individually lined up on a conference
table in a 72 degree room. All companies should make the design
engineering team assemble all equipment on the tailgate of a pickup in a
20mph wind at 15 degrees, and I guarantee that it will be redesigned.

I’m getting tired of struggling to install the radomes on PMP450b
high gain dishes, I think it’s the same radome as the ePMP Force
200. I’ve had to resort to hammers and heat guns. I don’t remember
them being this difficult at first, maybe they shrink or get stiff
sitting in the distribution warehouse, or maybe before I was doing it
in August or something. Usually the biggest problem is the next to
last tab.
I don’t want to make it the installers problem because then I know I
will start seeing dishes on houses with no radome, and a pile of
radomes in the truck. I want the radome for windload, appearance, and
snow resistance.
Is there some kind of trick that someone has found to installing
these devils?
