Product review (5 stars): Perfect, factory replacement.  Beware of pricing.
Great item, but beware of price fluctuations.  When I bought this item a month or two ago, it was a $5.96 add-on item.  I suppose that the vendor that I had ordered from is now out of stock, because the price is now a whopping $29.93!  The product itself is great.  It is an original equipment manufacturer's replacement, but $30 is just too high for a plastic rod.
