nice operation. How was the install?

Nice.. and it actually holds at various degrees.

The installation took 30~45 min. for my mechanic to perform. He encountered no issues at all. He can probably do it again in around 30 min. or less time.

Yes, it holds at various height levels but towards the end, you can see that it drops by itself if it's at 50% (or less) opened position.
