Takes 100% of the slop out of the mount and most importantly comes off / on without a wrench unlike other hitch tighteners. The video shows the removal to be real easy with little adhesive to remove from the old ones. This is upsetting as I explicitly filtered the slipper selection to only list what is available in my size. So after 4 years Id say its time to replace. You will love it! ??????. Until that is my old one was lost then found in the parking lot my work. This is an upgrade from the older Bose simplified sound system. Overall looks brand new So annoyed.
