better than the original plastic, but takes up a little more room
I bought this because the original part had plastic axles that break off, and end up allowing the top rack to come loose from the rails that attach it to the dishwasher.
These parts so far seem much more sturdy, and they've fixed the problem. Now let's hope they last!
Installation was a bit difficult, because the instructions make no mention of how to remove the old parts, and the pictures are very poor, so to the less mechanically inclined, this may be difficult to install.
It took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to get the first side old parts off and new parts on. Once I did, the second side took all of 5 minutes, if that.
The only other drawback is that this part seems to "intrude" more into the top rack space - the old parts didn't interfere with loading dishes, this new part "juts out" a little more, so tall glasses don't fit now where they once did.
