Product review (4 stars): Tips vs Rerack
I just purchased these and installed several on my dishwasher's lower rack. Actually, I couldn't install them; I had to have my husband do the install as they need some muscle in order to slide on. As you can see in my before and after photo, my dishwasher rack tips are slightly larger at the top, which made these much more difficult to simply slide them on. I am hoping that that will make them much more difficult to slide off as well. Someone suggested using dishwashing soap. We personally did not find that that helped at all. Just good old muscle and in a couple places he gently used pliers. I also purchased and applied "Rerack" which is a liquid that can be applied to damaged areas where tips will not work. See before and after photo. I will be comparing both options and will update my review as I make the determination. I was wondering if a bit of epoxy could be applied to help secure the tips to the rack to prevent them from falling off as someone's review had mentioned that they experienced that problem. Before I heard of "Rerack" I used epoxy on the areas where water had eroded and I had a buildup of rust and that seemed like it would work also.
