I promise this will make sense eventually.
This is my mask.

Originally I had some leakage issues from the top portion of the mask. I've resolved these, but it seems the only way I can successfully resolve them is to have the mask so tight I end up with marks on my forehead and/or I end up having to take it off mid way throught the night because of pain on my forehead.
I have a thought on what might be the cause. If I remember right I thought the mask had multiple settings on the brigde of the nose part- essentially allowing you to cut down the distance between the forehead support thing and the top of the nasal mask portion.
I always had them as close as possibe and this seemed to work best. Recently I was checking the mask and it appears there are no more "settings", essentially the portion that connects the forehead piece to the mask is free to slide up and down.
Any chance that is what is causing the leakage? Can I just replace that connector/slide piece?

Re: Leakage from upper portion of maks
Sean you may have the wrong size mask. Did you buy it online or from a DME with new equipment?
