You can either try to find replacement o-rings and trial-error it until you find a nice fit...or (this is up to you to decide to do this) you can take some fine 400/600 grit wet-dry sandpaper and buff them down to size.
I was given the same advice by Tys as well. I have the entire o-ring section covered in white lithium grease. It rarely hangs now.

Tys I plan to reverse that spring tonight, ill let u know how it goes.
