practice rail pedal doesnt lock

[KeyKat88 at aol.com]

Greetings,

         Doing a dealer tuning on a brand new Yamaha M-500 console, I found 
that the practice rail pedal (center pedal) moves the practice rail into 
position okay... however the pedal wont move to the left into the lock-on postion 
(slot). Upon closer examination and after playing with the adjusting tie rod the 
slot doesnt provide enough clearance for the pedal!  

         The only solution I see is to remove the felt that lines the cut-out 
and replace it with thinner felt...it seems too thick. It measures 1/8" or 
better....or.. Am I overlooking some other simpler solution, as I hate to pull 
and sever new felt,,,I'd be redesigning the situation. 
Has anyone ever seen this in a brand new Yamaha?? What gives? ....or in this 
case... doesnt give?...In my whopping 42 months in business, I have never seen 
a Yamaha with "careless" work.  

Thanks,
