Review on Hassle-free Security: Introducing Hi-Lift HM-LK Hood Mount Locking Knob by Reza Shoecraft

I've had this on my hood cradle for over two and a half years. First, the locking mechanism is pretty flimsy, but it works. However, it appears to be poorly designed. The hole in the middle collects in the water, the thread rusts and jams. The locking mechanism is weak and cannot tighten the nut enough to break the rusted threads and keeps slipping. Right now my only option is to pry open the plastic handle with a chisel and then hopefully find a way to tighten and remove the nut with a wrench. Luckily I never needed the Hi-Lift or I would have failed on the course without getting it off. I would not recommend this product for hood mounting.
