    Agreed. With all these plastics, the easier the life, the longer she'll last.

    I don't think there is any additional stress due to the bends in the rod.

    Of course I have no hard data to back up that claim. Just my opinion...:confused:

    If something has a 90* bend in it, of course it's easier to bend.

    The rod is not tight, it moves freely. It also takes very little force to move the lock mechanism. So I assume it wont bend any further. I guess I will see over time.

    Is there an electronic version of the install instructions? My kit arrived today and seeing the pictures online would be helpful.

    If talking about going to "stock"...you can not....once the TINY holes are drilled you are there for the duration. The holes are covered by the ABS ? front cover.

    This kit is great. Super easy install.

    I was hesitant if it was needed at first but I am glad I no longer need to check if I locked the tailgate.
