Our 2005 Damon Challenger came with a safety brace, a bar to secure the slide, while driving. I was told that it is to prevent the slide from sliding out on its own, while driving. It goes between the front edge of the slide, at the top, and the wall above and behind the driver. That would be me, when it comes loose and drops on my head.
It is adjustable, and appears to be tight, when I install it. This is not a complicated mechanical problem. I think I understand how it works - or in my case, doesn't work. Nevertheless, it comes loose, every time. I gave up, and have been sneaking around without it. :-\ The slide hasn't slid out on its own, yet.
That thing is a pain, litterally! How much of a risk is it, to drive around without it? Am I just lucky, to not have had the slide - slide out - on its own? Any suggestions? ???
