Bought to replace struts on my 2006 Taurus. I mean after about 15 years the original A-pillars started to weaken, typically Ford! (Sarcasm?). These were delivered well packaged. Really good product finish/looks good. They were sooooo easy to install, even a caveman could do it! As they have only been on the car for about two days, one cannot currently write about permanent work just to say that it is currently no longer necessary to use a block of wood as collateral! Happy with the purchase.
