Permanent fix as follows.no more cracked rails/no more lost bags

you need to mount and center the bag(s),pull the wheel off,drill the bottom 
bag mount right through the bag mount and the bike mount.get a clevis pin and 
insert  pin  to secure the bag to the bottom guide /mount,giving your bag a 3 
point fixed mount to prevent it from flexing / bouncing on the top rail....and  
leaving the bike when you least expect it.easy to remove  when mounting and 
much more secure when you have  overloaded your hardcases.
