Default Grob G-103 Wing Pin Collar Found Disengaged

The glider was rigged, hookups checked by another person and flew three flights - off the winch.

The next morning's Daily Inspection found a collar was disengaged.

After some wriggling and pushing we got the collar reengaged.

We've flown this glider for a few years without this happening.

We will be checking every flight for a while.

Have any other G-103 pilots seen this?
