At the end of last summer my forespar tiller extender had the tenon part bend so that it eould not snap into the receiver on the tiller. Got a new one over the winter since I couldn't fix it, and the replacement did the same thing this last week. I straightened it out so it works, but I must be putting some incorrect torque on the part -- but the helm sems pretyy balanced unless I really tighten up the split backstay heading upwind in heavy winds.

Anybody else have the same problems?

Tightening up the backstay should reduce weather helm.

I'd take it up with Forespar. You can e-mail their customer support on their webpage. I had a problem with mine a year or so ago. It wouldn't lock well when extended. They just replaced it.
