Question Rod Holder Tubes

My suggestion has to do with the rod holder tubes. Two of mine are so collapsed that I cannot put rods into them. They are difficult to work on so I have left them alone.

In looking at the problem I found that the wall thickness of the black plastic tubes, used for the insert, was insufficient in strength to hold back the expanding foam. The foam expanded and crushed the thin walled tubes to a point they are nearly totally collapsed. This rendered them unusable.

The simple fix of course is to use a thicker walled plastic and avoid any collapse. Can't cost much.

Anyone else have this problem. How did you fix it.
