Thanks Leo,
I don't think its a quality issue, more of the roof being at a 17 deg angle and preventing the two sets of floating rollers from finding a " happy spot" . I will try the fixed rollers first and see.
I checked the whole thing for " squareness" today and its within 5mm so it has to be due to weight and the floating rollers.
Time will tell.
Thanks

From memory I believe I've seen a system as such done with ropes and weights on here somewhere in a roll off roof discussion.

I was a supervisor at B&D many, many years ago in Mascot (Sydney), their tracks were strong back then but I know many manufacturers are making cheaper grade components now to maximise profits and reduce overall quality/longevity. I can't say B&D are actually doing this as I have no idea but I know a lot of places are.
We can't have everyone driving around in 33 year old cars like mine as of next month, nothing is supposed to last that long now.
