Nice to see/hear from fellow 270S members. We appear to be a rare breed. In fact I purchased the LAST ONE EVER manufactured (December 2016 - 2017 Model). Unfortunately it was from leftover spare parts and had over 70+ warranty issues that I solved mostly myself. One item (windshield ) precipitated my suing FR and getting a lawyer. We settled.
I have not had the problem you describe, but I can see how if you are overzealous and pull when you are not supposed to, it my break.
One think I did do is change the driver seat!!!! I had a local expert place extra special material (matting) under the seat area for better support and I removed the metal pieces on the floor mounting that makes the seat lean forward. Those are totally wrong.
A shame that there isn't a dedicated 270S thread - that I know of.
