I've had them for about a month now and they're still holding up. I have a pretty heavy spoiler on my sunroof and those struts don't seem to move at all. Installation is very easy, there are even instructions, so I'd say you'll be done within an hour. Just as a note, if you have tongs you can place them on one side of the rack to hold it while you work on the other side.
