The Gib along with the load of the drive mechanics should hold you in place. Mine does not want to drop at all, I don't even think about it anymore. Just adjust your Gib till it holds in position. Don't get into using the side grubs, they can distort the Gib, especially if they use the dog point grub and steel ball like mine had. I took mine out and they stay out. I found that mine had deep dimples and an interfering ridge around the dimples, Also I could see pressure rub zones on opposite side of grub. If you have hard plastic plugs under the grub then you can snub them a bit. Primarily tho, use the Gib as it is intended. That way the friction is evenly distributed along full Gib and it will hold better and slide smoother for its full life span.
