Bad design.

The larger of the two latches broke on the plastic "hinge" immediately after installation. It latched fine, but unlocking and re-engaging only caused it to break once. I'm very disappointed, obviously it's just a really poor design compared to the original metal shutter on my 1994 F150. I'll look into a stronger replacement.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Two bars, but in two different sizes

Remember that the kit contains two bars, but in two different sizes. Guess to cover most applications. You must inevitably order two of these to make two sliding rear windows. The larger of the two worked for the side window of my '88 blazer. The fit was tight so I snapped it open and left it alone. It feels like it doesn't take much to break.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Small things

ATTENTION TO THE BUYER! DO NOT SPEND ON THIS CLOSURE, even at $5!

All of these positive reviews are either COUNTERFEIT or the buyer clearly did NOT have this JUNK fastener installed and is ONLY basing their positive review on the fact that the new one "looks" exactly like it. their old latch and didn't bother to update their review after it broke. I went as far as steaming the latch for 2 WEEKS to soften the plastic, WEEKS PRIOR to installation and it STILL broke on the very first attempt to latch my rear window. DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY! Go with OEM!

Pros
