One other thing. Look to make sure that the main halyard hook at the top freely swivels. Many times, the loop on the inside of the track actually hits the back of the track. When it sticks, it can make raising and lowering the main a total PITA. Fix it at your own peril. In my case, I pried the loop a little bit with a screwdriver so that it freely swiveled
