What should have been an easy installation became a nightmare. The instructions are oversimplified. Part 2G has two bent retainer nibs that have to slide under 2E. These keep it from sliding out from under 2E. During installation, I had to duct tape it to the inside wall of the cup holder to keep it in place until I could tighten up the cap head nut, 2D. Then, Rivco cheaps out on the bracket mtg screws. Instead of using cap head allens as are the OE screws, they supply easy to strip phillips head screws. This will now entail a trip to the hwd store to correct the issue. There is no parts list giving the screw length nor the tpi. Geeze Rivco, how hard would it be ? Lastly, it is only 3" in diameter and has no handle slot. As such, it will hold a small water bottle or, a narrow bottom coffee cup w/o a handle. IMHO, this product is an epic fail. I hope my review saves someone else the $60.00 I wasted.

PS: it is not self leveling either.189928
