Slideout wiring repair

I got tired of fixing the big plastic strap that supports the slideout wiring (repaired several times and at one time replaced with a larger one). Link to previous discussion
I used a coiled air hose as a "spring" to pulling the wiring in/out as the slide moves. Tossed the original strap & hardware in the trash. At first I tried a screen door spring, but it was too strong.

Time will tell how long the air hose will keeps it's "spring"; but working well so far. Much better than the OEM plan.
