Indicator cancelling prematurely due to rubber gaiter

Common problem: my indicator stalk cancels prematurely when indicating right. I'm 110% sure that it's due to the rubber gaiter/boot/grommet, since the stalk works perfectly when the gaiter is retracted.

Do you guys have any fix for this? I think it's because the gaiter is stretched when indicating right and essentially pulls the stalk back down.

Also, bending the stalk downwards didn't work for me - made no difference whatsoever

Put a nick in the rubber where the stalk comes through, worked for me. ONE LIFE, GET IT!

Thanks for the tip

Would you be able to post a photo? I can't quite visualise it.

have you had the steering wheel off lately? if so you may have not got the blue plastic cancelling strip at the right angle. Jeff

Yes I did, but I made sure the arrow on the ring pointed to the left (i.e. indicator stalk). It also works totally fine if the gaiter isn't hooked into the cowl.
