Lamy 2000 Lose Clip

[Mechayoshi]

Im a proud owner of the 2k but Im not sure if this is normal or not. Yes, Ive emailed Lamy but got nothing yet. Yes I googled but didnt get a clear answer. Ill even quote someone else who mentioned what I have going on: I'm visibly able to slide the clip up and down about 1-2mm, with audible clicks as I do so

 

Its not necessary annoying or rattling or anything but I just want to know if thats something to worry about.

The clip has a spring so that it will open to clip on something, but it should not slide up and down. If it's a new pen, I would take/send it back to the dealer for a replacement.

If not new, then it might be worthwhile just posting the cap to Lamy with a note.

Thanks for the reply, but do I really have to send the entire thing back? I got it from Cult pens. I'd rather just try to get a replacement cap somehow..

2mm movement is excessive, perhaps your cap top plastic screw(finial) is loose and just needs to be tightened down?

I found a disassembly video about that but mines doesn’t budge at least not without excessive force I dot want to give. Seems like repair is my only option! *sigh*. I’m under warranty I know but still..

You can deal with Cult or Lamy, email them if you can just send the cap.

 

If under warranty, definitely get it fixed.
