Mine did it the first few times, so I started pulling on the cord to close the lid. Pulled it to the inside the next several times & now it falls that way it's self...........<shrug>

1. Remove the cable end from the tourpak.

2. Do not remove the cable end from the lid.

3. Twist the loose tourpak cable eyelit 90 degrees. (Turn it over.)

3. Reinstall tourpak cable to the tour pak

4. Close the lid.

5. Observe how the cable now folds into the tourpak space.

6. Have a couple of celebration brews. [sm=icon_guiness.gif][sm=icon_guiness.gif]

Oh, and twist the cable counter-clockwise when viewed facing the cable from the right side of the tourpak.

Default Tour Pak Cable - Solved

How much wood would a Woodchuck chuck if a Woodchuck could chuck wood?

I don't know, but I do know this; Woodchuck is the man.

The only problem I had with my Ultra is now solved.

The cost free twisting cable trick works like a champ.

I actually feel a little stupid, just standing there repeatedly opening and closing the lid afterdoing the fix just to see it work.

Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Chuck's boy, Wood.
