We just had our jib fairlead replaced.
Far more simple and way more effective. 
The angle off the furler is odd and we highly recommend this:
(old original is with white wheel, pinching the line)
New one saves our lines too!

I just moved the original lead sonit was higher up allowing the line to run horizontally grim the furler to the lead.  I rarely have issues furling the sail, turning downwind to do so in stronger winds.
