You're making assumptions about what the OP meant by what they said. You can't do that. Ask more questions. Get a clear understanding of the problem before pronouncing a diagnosis.

Goes both ways. Without seeing car, I assumed that it's too tight, other guy assumed that's it's just perfect and OP and I are weak armed. I didn't want to assume that the guy was a puss and didn't know anything about his own car.
