Review on πŸ”Œ Hopkins 48190: Endurance Quick Fix Vehicle Side 4-Flat Connector – Efficient and Reliable Solution for a Secure Trailer Connection by Christopher Kanter

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Liked the leds good for gear

liked the leds. They feel comfortable, although not critical. I didn't like the mechanism for plugging wires from the car into the connector. It keeps the wires slack which is an inconvenience during installation (you get two or three in the right position, try the next one but one of the previously installed wires pops out. Do this a dozen times and see how annoying it is YOU). More importantly, I expected the wires to be a lot more reliable once I screwed the top on. Maybe, but only slightly. The wires pull out of the connector MUCH easily for my convenience. I ended up smearing the back side with silicone to give me a little more confidence that the wires would stay in place. Also not thrilled with the mounting holes for connecting the connector to the car. I had to drill a new hole in my car structure because the hole pattern on this connector was different than my old one. It would be nice if it came with a very simple adapter. Conclusion: everything is fine, but there are some problems. I gave two stars but if I had the chance I would give two and a half. I'll probably look around if I ever need a new one instead of just buying it again. I wouldn't recommend it, although I wouldn't say "avoid at all costs".

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • repair
