This thing is solid, based on the materials and the welds, I don't think this thing is going to break ever. not for the use case. I have been using it for the last year and a half now and have two. One I used the tbar attachment, and the other I went straight into the car floor. I now prefer buying two t-mounts (yes two) method. but the one in the floor is arguable just as good if the car allows it. very simple device in function after you understand how it works. comes with replacement parts, but not screws, so do not lose any from the kit or you could be screwed.
