If this happened on a highway, the consequences could have been much worse. The supports are held in place by small (#10) Tek-screws and the heads sheared off from vibration and stress during regular highway driving. They are inadequate for holding the supports in place- the supports should be welded or bolted in place. The dealer (All Star, Sherwood Park Alberta) confirmed
