Hi,
Just got AIQ premium a few days ago April 2022 Build.
Has anyone experienced balls launching up the left ramp and hitting the backboard and or the glass?

Hi, Mines at 6.5.
I made an extended shield to dampen the launch.

Less than a month old and already chipped. Really like the game, this is so dissapointing.

I Know I removed that plastic because the clear piece above it came flying off during a game because the screws underneath the hex posts fell out , and I didnt think it was particularly hard to remove. I think its fastened from underneath.

I just had another look at mine.
There are three nylock nuts that hold the plastic in place. The one holding the Ramp, one directly opposite the one holding the ramp and one further down the plastic near the up kicker. Then the plastic is awkward to remove as it seems to be wedged under the subway kick out loop ramp metal thingy. It was a struggle to get out but it was not glued.

Talking about the Fixins. This game has been my most troublesome (but still fun).
1st game second ball on plunge , ball goes into cabinet. This was wifes first go i wasn't watching and she turns to me and says, were did the ball go. I search for awhile then lifted the playfield to find the ball. Next ball got stuck under guantlet. Fixing this I found how it got into the cabinet, there is a gap in the back board right of the guantlet where a ball can fit through. Made a lexan guard to fit under the gauntlet and ball cannot go through gap and wont get stuck.
2nd - Black widow ramp stopped detecting balls. Led sensor failed, probably because Led sensor got shorted out by screw holding plastic above ramp being too long. Shortened screws replaced Led sensor.
3rd - Black widow ramp launching balls into glass really really forcefully. It would clip the edge of the clear plastic at the top of the ramp and deflect into the glass. I made another lexan piece to extend further down the ramp. No more glass strikes.
4th - Captain marvel ramp rejects and balls falling out and getting stuck on top of the part of the ramp that crosses over to the right of the playfield. At the apex of the ramp the ball could fall out because the ramp itself opened up at that point and it was past the plastic cover. Made another lexan piece that extended past the apex, also made lexan piece to cover the gap at the bottom of the ramp. No more balls falling out.
5th - top drop target not dropping on hard straight hit. Cant seem to improve this.
6th - after about 50 plays a clear plastic piece flew across the playfield during a high scoring game. Screws had fallen out under hex standoffs. Found screws in bottom of cabinet.
7th - Playfield chipped under post at entrance to Captain america shot through pops. Fitted washer to cover chip (don't like that but stern wont cover)
So basically I have had the glass off this one more times than any of my other sterns.
Still its a fun game

1> Yes
2> No idea, But it would be easy to make one.
3> Its called a semi Tubular rivet. Drill out the one you have left and recover the bracket. You can get semi tubular rivets in the US easily. Try Hansons.

Cool you taught me something, I didn't know what a chicago screw was. Having now seen them not sure if they would close down enough to clamp the thin plastic against the metal. Worth a look I suppose.
