Broken modules [RE-wrenches]

[Todd Cory, Mt. Shasta Energy Services]

Can someone e-mail me a copy of the manual. I cannot find it at the mfgr 
web page.

These modules were surface mount on the shallow pitch roof roof with no 
additional angle. I specifically placed them at the bottom edge of the 
roof (with an 8' drop below) so the snow could slide. I am afraid that 
just reinforcing the edge might not be enough to resolve this without 
making the angle steeper... but that will means changing out the rack too.

The customer is already pissed this happened and I want to make very 
sure it never happens again (if at all possible). They do not want to 
turn it into their home owner insurance because they will raise his 
rates (sigh). I am donating my labor for the repair. The joys of living 
in heavy snow country.
