Broken flexgard straps

The 2 Flexgard or (Flexguard) straps that carry the wires under the living room slide and curbside slide on our 3055 developed single large cracks in the 3 inch strap and nearly broke through, leaving no support for the wire looms and cable. The large slide strap cracked on the beam side so the fix is to remove the strap from the beam, cut off the end at the crack and attach a 3 in. hinge with a non removeable pin; reattach the strap to the beam. ( It seems the strap wasn't long enough to start with )The other strap broke in the middle and needs to be replaced. Is it possible to replace the 3 in. strap with a 4 in strap? I have seen these on other trailers that don't have these problems. This came to my attention from another Bighorn owner so look carefully under your slideouts.:cool:
