Normally Dorman products are of high quality. Maybe this one.

Dorman products are generally of high quality. Maybe it was defective, but it had a major flaw. The sheathing on the back of the cable, which is designed to hold water and protect the cable from freezing, does not stay attached. He wasn't locked up.

Pros
  • Brackets included if required
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged

Pros
  • Internal cables are sleeved and lubricated for longer life and improved performance.
Cons
  • Very expensive.
