The closet rod has always been a problem. Even with the metal rod they rip out because the supports in the roof and sides are into nothing but paneling. I put the wooden rod back in, drilled a hole the the middle and put a telescoping rod thru it and secured it to the floor by screwing in a rubber furniture caster cup. Never had a problem since.
