Between having to adjust the habitrail above the Aston Martin out of the box, and then having to readjust it tonight after working on a mod (replacing the orange/pink plastic under the car, soon to be expanded into a road scene, reference https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/stern-james-bond-007-mod-thread/page/2#post-7298690 for the initial baseline / pics), I decided to look a little more closely at the ejection process and how it interacts with this rail.
I took several super-slo-mo videos after various adjustments, and they show just how different the ejection process is despite very minor position changes. You'll also see it's much more violent than I realized -- the habitrail shakes a lot!
It's important to be sure you have good clearance for the roof to open and not contact the rails, yet still have a smooth feed. This is nearly impossible to see in real-time so I recommend you use this video method to check yours. I expect this will be unique to everyone's individual machines based on slope, ejector strength, etc. As you'll see, all three of these videos end up with the ball in the habitrail headed for the inlane, so you'd think it's all good ... but watch closely, there is more happening than meets the eye.
Here in the first vid, I discovered the ejection was messy -- the ball bounces slightly back toward the car, so the roof panel tries to slam shut on the ball, and then the ball actually bonks off the roof of the car before tumbling down to the main habitrail:
Adjustments made... this time it's redirected a little better but still barely clears the roof/car and kinda floats over to the main channel.
More adjustments made, this was the best I got it for now... it catches a little more of the curved section and floats over the car with a little more clearance. I left it in this setup as "good enough" for now, since I'll be messing with this hardware more as I continue work on the mod.
When you check & adjust yours (by loosening the two nuts at the base of the curved section), you'll want a flat tool to manually lift the roof to ensure you have clearance past the ends of the individual rails. Flex it a little too -- since now you see how much it moves during the event! Test it and shoot your videos by having a loose ball while in attract mode. Any ball dropped into the scoop will eject automatically since the game wants to get reset and ready for a new player.
