So I exchanged my 1720 for a 1700. Had no problems at all with the 1720.
The 1700 is a different story. The o-ring keep coming out of its groove. I had figured maybe the one at the local shop had been finger banged too much, and the o-ring stretched out more than it should have been.
Needless to say, if the o-ring comes out of its groove, closing the case becomes very difficult...
I ordered another o-ring and it was great for about 5 minutes, before it started doing the same shit. Pelican's website said the o-ring is only suppose to be pressed into the groove, but for whatever reason i'm getting no joy with that.
Has anyone used any glue or grease to hold it in? I called Pelican and the guy said to use a water or rubber based glue, but wouldn't/couldn't eleborate as to a brand.
Looking for something that will work that I can buy locally, I have yet another o-ring inbound.
