You know, my skylight's flex arms have always popped out of their tracks as
the skylight is opened and snapped back in place as it is closed... never
having owned a westy before (only splitties, loafs and gl vanagons), I
thought that was normal... it has done that since I got it 15 months ago.
Doesn't really seem to present a problem that I can think of, although now
that I think of it I guess it's not working properly.  But why fix it
anyway?  Only thing I can think of is that it might scratch the skylight a
little.

Thoughts?
