We've had fifth wheels for 20+ years, but we've always had a PullRite Superglide, so we've never used a disk. We no longer have a slider, so we're using a lube plate now. Is there some secret that others use to keep the lube plate on there, and is it normal for those fingers to get eaten by the hitch?

I sold my previous fifth wheel with a 12 year old lube plate on it bought new. Never had it fall off or show any real signs of wear . I cured any problem I could of had with a lube plate , with a Andersen hitch.
