I have read about these as having no fail safe,wondering if they are reliable,I see George is selling them but general feedback is they aren't worth the risk,comments from those who have used/sell them would be a help,however need to know if they are reliable.
I know nothing about them and that's the reason I'am asking. TIA |

I am with you. They do good work and have everything you need. I have heard that when the non-OEM ones, with the spring, fail, the flaps stay closed. The OEM accordian fails and the flaps stay open. Safer to be open, right? Not sure about the failure rate of either. |
