My garage door tension rod is shifting on the way up, causing the cable drum to ride against the carriage bolt head when the door gets about 3/4 of the way open.

Hi Oren, I was going to skip this because I don't see any photos, nor a good description with measurements, so, as you surmised, there's just not enough information to go on.
To the OP: Look at this thread, and snap similar photos so we can "see" what you're talking about. I can "guess" what the problem is (as I had a problem with my anchor plates moving that I resolved) but a lot depends on your setup. (

Hi Oren, I've seen our NNTP posts get placed on forums (i.e., nntp-to-forum); but not the other way around (which this one seems to be).
Do *any* of these forum-to-nntp posters ever respond back?
I figured as much.
The guy just died, despite your attempts to help him.
I'm just going to ignore all of those posts, until/unless someone proves themselves.
Thanks for caring!
I've made a filter for the Moaners Hub posts. Just see the replies.
