I'm applying to make this an official term. LOL
For me, this applies to my GodZilla, but I know of another person with the same issue on DeadPool.
While I'm playing my Godzilla my playfield is slowly moving to one side of the cabinet. This means my plumber is no longer centered and my ball will no longer launch cleanly.
I can remove the lockdown bar and recenter the playfield and it stays put for a short while but it doesn't last long.
Anybody else experienced this it have a solution?

Apply some thick adhesive-backed felt to the side of the playfield that moves towards the inside of the cabinet. And tell your plumber to meditate and realign his chakras.

Doesn't happen on my JJPs.

Interesting:

2. My Godzilla is the first playfield that came without side cabinet switch plates that double as playfield centering stabilizers. Without these in place, my playfield could move left or right about 3-4 millimeters once lowered. I ordered a set of left and right switch plates from Pinball life and they perfectly centered my playfield in the cabinet which also aligned the shooter lane to the auto an manual plunger.

Because they lack mechs to make them move..

Thank goodness, cause if it did we all know it would completely be the fault of the owners.
