Yeah, I've had the lower bearings fall down. Any easy fix I have used
several times is a hose clamp of appropriate size place just below the
bearing. Holds it in place beautifully  :)

I had the same kind of problem.  Turned out it was the lower bearing, the

retainer got loose and the bearing fell.  I thought I had to replace the 
whole rack! Whou-ou!!!  i'm sure glad I didn't went to the shop, or even 
worse, the dealer.  They would have replaced a perfectly good bearing
$$$. 
 I just put some strong glue on the retainer and the bearing just want's
to 
groove...
