Questions and answers
How best to remove the Impression snap covers to access the balusters that rattle.
To remove TimberTech Express Impression snap covers to access rattling balusters, follow these steps:
1. Do not use a hammer — snap covers are designed to be removed without forceful tools.
2. Apply even pressure along the snap cover from one end to the other to gently unsnap it.
3. Check the clips underneath to ensure they are properly seated in the aluminum railing channels.
4. Once the snap cover is removed, inspect and secure any loose balusters as needed.
Reinstall the cover by snapping it back over the rail channel, applying pressure from one end to the other until it is firmly seated.
