I bought a 2017 M8000 153" LTD and I just checked the track adjustment bolts on the inside of the rail and one of the bolts was loose!

So 1) Is it a big deal if it's loose since it came from the factory/dealer like that? And 2) how do I tighten the adjustment bolt since there's no head on it? (It's just threads!)

Thanks!

Thanks! Wonder why they changed it? :noidea: "weight savings"?

why not? i love em. you should make sure track is tensioned and aligned as per your manual, or close as you can get it. spin the track before and after. when you think you got it, spin the track again and make sure. never seen a dealer deliver it perfect. many put them tighter anticipating some stretch. some just take the slack out and forget to tighten/align anything for you :face-icon-small-dis
