Good info...mine just started making a creaking noise, so I figure it is impending rail failure. Good thing I stopped using it, since you said it needs to be able to go all the way back to access the first set of pins. I will keep that in mind going forward now.

I think I read that there are updated plastic rails that are stronger.
