I replaced the three screws with anchors (the kind that look like transluscent white wings) in the aluminum channel. For the screws, I used caps to hide the heads. While it works better than the three screws that were in our 179, it is not perfect. I have been trying to figure out how to attach the panel so that it can flex in both directions if it hits something. I have not yet found a suitable double-action hinge to use though.
In addition, I took some wire ties and used them to help suspend the wires so that they don't drag on the floor. I had to make sure they were tight enough to work, but loose enough so that they will still move with the slide. That helped with the panel also.
