All ready got new section, but will have broken one repaired,  I think the shape of the sill brush helped with it slipping down the wall.

Me an me mate went an bought extreme 35 & 47 off a guy on here, was pretty new, he has 35 I have 47  ;D

First day he had it he done as op described, section 1 had to be replaced a few weeks later he's done the same .......... Says he hates the extreme poles, but am loving mine even tho I snapped me carbon goose neck early hours the other morning, not sure if it was due to the cold or just me.

I guess some will never learn from their mistakes. "You plonker Rodney" springs to mind  ;D
Speaking of which best to also mind where your stepping if you lay a pole on the floor too as I found out the hard way. Oops! :D

When I get paid off that last job I will buy him a nice new slx and swap it with his extreme, although if am honest I would like to give them viper poles a go
