Should last longer than two months. If I only carry half of the capacity then why did the bar bend?I was worried that it was breaking the welds of the hitch but that is not the case. 45$ gaspiller pas votre argent avec ces chaussures! Only time we had an issue was when we tried a different color. Im pretty sure it was overkill and not needed, but I did it anyway. the material seems soft and nice. giusto per dare un po di rotazione! they have withstood the "Michael" test. I bought this to hold my Anbes D41 Earbud and it works perfect. TCL has done me right with thier TVs so took a chance on these.
