You can see from this photo it only wraps round the thread.

Hi Arctic, thank you. Pictures are a godsend to me. I struggle without them!

I am interested to see the placement of the rod in the photographs. Would this be considered the rod being about where it needs to be? The reason I ask is my rod was in a totally different position. On mine the end of the road was in line with the bottom of the clip. So maybe a whole centimetre off.

We've had a very bad cold snap here recently with doors freezing so I must have dislodged it like you say.
