Mine won't stay in place. They work themselves away from the window, allowing leaks and creating wind noise. The situation is so bad, the rail moves enough to leave a crack between the Focus windlace and window.
Here is how the cantrail is supposed to be situated.
This is how it moves after a few miles on the road.
Careful examination will reveal that while moving inward, the rail has rotated slightly. I tried a couple of temporary fixes and decided that the physics of the retaining system are bad and coupled with worn holes and pins, leaves us with a hopeless situation.
Here is my solution.
The "fix" has yet to be road tested, but I cannot move the cantrail by wacking it with the palm of my hand, which, I must say, is a pretty good wack.
The screw is 10-32 X 1 1/2" stainless, the retainer clip is guitar pick shaped. I thought the design was pretty good, considering it does not modify anything. As a bonus, the wingnut is captured.
