I sawed off the top of my deck o drain tops to snap on replacement tops, when i noticed my drain channel has a 1/4" gap between pieces and must have been dribbling water for years. I really dont want to get into pulling out the old drain just for that, is there a way to fix this gap, something that would fill it yet not disrupt the water flow? And in worse case scenario, whats the best way to get these drains out, is there a trick because with some light tugging it doesnt budge out of ground. I enlcosed a good picture of the gap. Id be forever indebted if anyone can help me solve this, hopefully without ripping the whole drain up.
