Hi Thunderbunny , i had that problem and that happend because with the use of the belt tensioner screw, the plastic of the roll bar don´t tight enough after some races of use, causing the side belt broke or fast wear , i fix this problem using a longer screw with a lock nut inside the roll bar, then you can tighten the nut as much as you want and it will not move never again, we are 6 velox v10 drivers in México and all have this mod done to our cars. Hope this can fix your problem. here are some photos

Is that an available Shepherd option? Thanks.
