Review on Truckzen Retractable Compatible Chevrolet Silverado by Jeff Driscoll

These fasteners are extremely difficult to install. For this reason. The handrail should be perfectly aligned and stay perfectly aligned as you turn the adjusting bolt. The problem is that the handrail turns as it wants. There's no way to keep it aligned so you can pull it down. In addition, the supplied screws are too short. They don't give you enough slack to slide the handrails over the cargo area wall. The thread is too high and you don't have enough space between the grip plate and the mounting hook; too low on the strings and the handrail will fall into the suspended state of your cargo box. It took me 1 hour for a binding before I found a better method. If you're still interested in these mounts (and they look solid once installed), here's what I'd suggest. 1) Get slightly longer screws (same metric size, of course, just a few turns longer). Not too long or the bolt won't come off the hook and go through the hole. To be on the safe side, take the tie with you to the hardware store. Take stainless steel. 2) You will also need something similar to an ice pick but thinner so you can position the grip plate properly while it is in the cargo hold opening. 3) You must keep the handrail tensioned while turning the bolt or it will turn randomly and not seat properly in the cargo area wall. One way is to pull the hook while turning the wrench. and oh, don't use the included wrench. useless. Another option is to tie the rope to the hook and pull on it to maintain tension. This gives more room since your fingers are not touching the hook. Using these methods, I was able to install the remaining 5 brackets in about 1.5 hours. Definitely the person who wrote "easy to install" and "it only takes a few minutes". never had to install it.
