We have had that problem before. What we do is to turn the screws that hold the channel in place with the heads on the bottom and the nuts on top. the screws were causing us to not be able to close out at the bottom of the windows.

Ever since I got my hands on the different ledgers I have felt they are Gods gift to pole
work.  Although sometimes they have really let me down.  I have found that the higher
I work the longer ledger to use.  I cleaned a building today with about 200 windows
second story. There was a 3' x 5' window over a 3' x 1' window across the entire
second floor.  Thinking I could save time pulled out my longest ledger and started to
work.  After we cleaned the whole outside we go inside and I couldn't believe my eyes
it was like I didn't use the ledger at all.  Most all the windows had a 1" gap from the
bottom where ledger didn't not completely close out the window. I had to pull out
my sectionals and hand wipe every  ledge. 

What did I do wrong?  On lower windows I have no problem like this but everytime
I do anything 2 floors I have a problem and might as well just use a ladder.
I think the bottom of the ledger where it fastens the channel is hitting the bottom
ledge instead of the rubber going all the way to the bottom.
Does anyone else have this problem?  Can the ledger be modified or bent to solve
this? Or am I just missing an important step to this awesome piece of equipment?
I am a pro a pole work and have a phiosopy  that "if you can scrub it I'll squeegee it!"
but these ledgers are about to give me fits!
