I don’t use mine very often, but when they allowed my not quite 3-year old grandson to help put 98C away after his first light airplane ride they were worth every penny.

I also did this, and recommend this instead of riveting. I've had mine installed for 2 years now, absolutely loving it. One of the best mods for the money.
