One of the hooks on the end of the strut broke. If you had the same problem, do you think it was caused by a defective strut, or just a random failure of the plastic hook?

I replaced a bad cable with a wireless hdmi transmitter/receiver pair. Replacing the cable running to the tv in the slideout was impractical. Wireless was easy and cost about $100.
