Need some help from you E.M gurus, in the middle of a game the plastic post popped off the plunger. PITA to take out BTW but I attached a picture. Is this actually supposed to be a pressure fit? The plastic doesn't look cracked or broken, so I don't see how the roll pin can go through the plastic, does it really just push on from the top and lay on top of that roll pin? Seems like a bad design but I think that about lots of things, anyway TIA for any help.

thanks for that reply, I see it is a pressure fit, seems like a bad design . I'll push it on tight and try it again, if it happens again I'll buy a new cap.

Quoted from xsvtoys:

It probably won't hold, I think it is designed for a one-time snap-on. That's why the removal process is to basically destroy it with pliers. It looks like yours has the slots slightly chewed up from being pulled back off at least once so it probably won't have the holding power of a new one. The good news is you can still get them and they are just a few dollars.

Ah ok I get it now, very good info thank you very much, new one ordered.
