The next time I had the courage to try it again, it worked perfectly. Really easy to install, & works great when it works, but 1 out of 4 suction cups keeps falling off. Everything looks neat and tidy. ALSO! The original part did not fit my car so this was no longer needed. This is my fourth pair of Chaco sandals because I really like the quality and fit. My foot is wide and there were tight on my foot but no complaints . I believe this is a knock off version. 25 tire so I had to get a separate hook with a bigger jaw opening The name brand charms are about $15 for a pack of 4, so this is a great deal!
