This wrinkle can cause the film to catch on the film guide plate as you are pushing it down. Taking care to keep the film flat should make it easy to slide in. Once the leader is about 50% across the winding spool put the bottom back on and start winding. When I follow the instructions and keep my hands off the works it never fails.
