Is something wrong with this North bar?

Hi,

I recently noticed that donkey dick on my north bar is loose (however it works just fine) - did anyone had similar situation and know what possible might be wrong?

Please take a look at pictures:

Oh! I see a serious symptom on your photo of your Ironheart:

From the pic I have the feeling the 2x elastics keeping your ironheart in position got loose overtime, making the all system easier to trigger by less push-pressure.

_+_+ _+_+ I have a 2012 North 5th Element bar with the original IronHeart and the same symptoms. It worked fine like this for a while until that auto-release pop out 2 times in a row on big water impacts (High Jumps). Might be good considering to change the Iron heart...
