Perfect fit for me

I have an '89 Ranger Supercab 4WD. Installation took two minutes and works great. Looks the same as the original equipment.

Pros
  • Parts
Cons
  • Some little things

Not suitable. - Rear Door Wire

website says it's the right size. The packaging said it was the right size. It's not like this. The hole in the side that attaches to the tailgate was larger than the attachment screw. I had to cut off the old ends and use them as a washer.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Not the best

Will not fit my 1986 Ford Ranger.

Will not fit my 1986 Ford Ranger even though it says so on the box. The hole at the end of the tailgate is too big and the cable slips off the screw head. I paid twice as much here and only got one tailgate cable for the price of two from other suppliers. I thought that for a higher price you can buy a better product. I was wrong.

Pros
  • Boot lid cable
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
