InvisiBrake Air Line Popping Off

Question:

Ive had the 8700 installed on my 2016 Kia Soul for 4+ years. The little black air-hose, located inside on the front on the left side of the box, just a couple of inches long, pops off once or twice a year. The last time it only stayed on for 2 trips. Is there a replacement part, improved hose or small retainer to help hold it in place? I have been considering a spot of Krazy Glue but the tech at Blacks TIre says thats a no-no! Please advise. Thanks.

Over time the little black air line you are talking about (smaller of the two) can be stressed and lose it's shape where it goes into the InvisBrake what I recommend you do is to use the Air Lift Air Hose Cutter part # AL10530 or another very sharp object to trim the end slightly and push it back in to the port on your InvisiBrake. This port is a push to connect so you should feel it slide in to a stop then you will push it in an additional 1/8" to 1/4" and you should never have to worry about it again.

If it is the larger of the two lines the rubber air line you can use a small zip tie to go around the end to provide you with some additional holding power and you'll be set.
