R7 bow cushion issue
I have a 2020 R7 with the bow filler cushion. I keep it in all the time but it will almost always end up falling out due to the bolt thru coming loose. I know this has to be a common issue. Has anyone found a good way to keep it from becoming dislodged and the cushion from falling to the floor?

Ours fell out in the first hour LOL.
The bolt unlocks from gravity and eventually falls out.
Kind of a dumb choice of a slide bolt from Cobalt. Not to mention the potential damage this issue could cause..
Get some Gorilla tape, rip off a foot of it for each bolt, get under there and tape the bolt lock shut. It’ll never fall out again.

I'm a duct tape man myself. If the Egyptians would have had duct tape, the Spinx would still have it's nose.

Re: R7 bow cushion issue
Thanks guys! Before seeing this I put a zip tie thru the same hole as the bolt and it had also seemed to work so far. I think the tape would be a little better solution though. I may go to that if mine doesn’t hold up.
