Mainsail mast car guide
I am trying to fix/replace the part in the photos. It is the piece that allows you to insert and remove the mail sail cars into the mast groove. It fell apart while I was raising my main the other day. It used to be spring loaded but I think I must be missing the part that made it spring. I don't even know what to call the thing to begin researching a repair. Thanks!

That’s the part. My buddy always keeps a spare aboard his Bene.
