I recently tried to install a nice set of Garhauer adjustable jib lead cars on our SO 35. Immediately I found a problem. Jeanneau never bolted down the last 8 inches on the aft end of both tracks. This allowed the ends to bend up if the cars were used all the way aft. This put a kink in the track so that the new cars would not slide into place. It was solved by removing the 50 bolts , taking off each track and straightening. I then drilled another hole at the end of each track and installed a new bolt to hold the ends down. All in all this is a project that should not have had to be done. I am not sure if this affected only our boat or every one. This might be something to look at on all models
