Perfect and easy.

Easy as pie. I lowered the awning all the way. Pull out the inner slide, loosen the broken handle, rivet it on again and mount it precisely. Yes sir, this old lady is not ready for the old farm. 72 and if I can do it, so can you.

Pros
  • Not cheap, but neat
Cons
  • For old

High quality fit.

High quality precision replacement for the front hood latch on my 2004 Fleetwood Fiesta. Even rivets of the right size were included, which was a pleasant surprise. Any rivets I had would have been too small and required a trip to the hardware store.

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Minor repairability

An exact replacement is as bad as the original.

The original design was BAD and broken. The replacement is exactly the same and will break. It's only a matter of time. Motorhome quality is exactly that. Therefore 5 stars because it is exactly the same as the original. I hope you get the humor!

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

A Simple Solution to a Big Problem

I thought I was stuck buying a new shed, or at least a new frame. Not with that. Drill out the old rivets and install this riveted lever from the kit and it works great. Even if you don't have a riveting tool, just go to a hardware store and get one for $12.

Pros
  • Great for a Small Home
Cons
  • Minor Problems

How do I remove the old operator from the rack?

I always like a product that works straight away. The original operator broke, leaving a spring-loaded pen with a handle dangling freely in my hand. Choose something larger than the diameter of the replacement rivet and drill out the old rivets. All you have to do is drill out the head of the rivet and loosen the handle assembly. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the slot between the two sections of the post, rest the screwdriver against the rivet barrel, and tap the screwdriver until the rest

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • Can I add something
