I read the reviews so I didn’t open the dryer itself until I had it attached to the area I wanted it. Works wonderfully and is well made.  Easy to install following the template and area allowances. The snap on cover works great and should protect the dryer from the elements. It opens and closes smoothly. You do have to lift up to disengage when closing and out and up when opening to engage the arm to lock in place but don’t force it. I just watched the videos as I had noticed one reviewer had a bent dryer arm and I wanted to avoid any damage to the dryer when figuring out the mechanism.
