Perfect in every way

This blew me away. I always had bruises on my arms from a slamming window. I can't believe how easy it is to install and the great price and they work perfectly.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Empty

Worth the money

Well I'm surprised these little shock absorbers can support the entire hood with no problem. Very reasonably priced and I don't even have any props and I'm pretty sure they hold the hood of my '84 Corvette which weighs more than me.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Can't remember

1988 'vette supports the hood.

Installation took a little longer than expected. there were details in the instructions. I decided to reuse washers and clips to hold them in place instead of the push locks that came with it. strict preference on my part. So far, so good.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

They are too stiff

(Maybe it was just these but) very stiff, it takes too much to squeeze these racks, might be ok for a large SUV or van with sunroof but not for a small Corvette lightweight sunroof. Revain has been excellent for customer service and returns, thanks!

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • A bit torn

Insanely cool! for shock absorbers, struts and suspension

Literally the easiest and cheapest mod I've ever made! The tailgate opens at the push of a button, amazing! Installation took about 10 minutes. Just make sure you have something to hold the sunroof while you replace it, that glass is insanely heavy!

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Requires socket

Universal racks, not left and right racks.

These are universal stands, not left and right side. The defroster tabs rotate freely and are not fixed. Instructions are not included. I had to search YouTube to remove the old racks and install new ones. They just don't work what I expected.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Some complications

I was impressed by how strong the compression is on these connecting rods.

For what I paid I installed these as replacement bars on my '96 Corvette. Easy removal and reinstallation. The rear metal defrost contacts are cheap, but pushing the bar reliably raises the rear window to the maximum. Closing the sunroof requires some force. Let's see how long they last. Hopefully I don't have to replace them.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Quality

Easiest improvement to my old branch so far.

I had no idea how bad the factory lifts were on my 1996 Corvette. This is a direct match. The installation was a walk in the park. They come with new defroster clamps, but of course they come loose because they have to be put in position before finally tightening. Also, you have to remove one to install the small rubber ring from the factory struts. Either way, don't forget to tighten them or you'll have a spark fest. You don't have to take them off to tighten them. The results are amazing. It…

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • So-So
