Review on Gates 20606 Upper Radiator Hose by Josh Tadder

I think the hose will work fine. The outer surface of this Gates hose is not smooth unlike any Gates hose I have purchased over the past 40 years. It shows the main bond and the outer surface is not smooth. I was an auto parts dealer during college and had never seen such a fake hose. I'm thinking of going to my local auto parts store and seeing if they have a better one for my Camaro RS 67 convertible. It seems to be working but it doesn't look right. I'm disappointed.
