It is definitely more art than science if you want it "just right". I need to replace the aftermarket bracket in our Suburban because the one that came with the kit tends to slip in one corner for some reason, and the unit is always lower on the left corner. Probably a 15 minute fix but the unit works and I don't think about it unless i'm driving it somewhere.
