The issue is that the factory bar is flimsy so bends too much in the middle and pulls the lightweight supports out. I bought a metal rod from HD, and 2 of their round metal wall brackets on each end. The key with the new solution is that the bar does not sag so is supported on the ends, with little to no pull on the middle supports. (I put them back just in case and they have stayed put)
It has worked perfectly for over 10,000 miles so far, and my wife and I are not light packers. (we live in our Montana about 5-6 months of the year)
