Our revised GSR are on the way, hopefully be here tomorrow. Do the new ones open easier? I had a heck of time retracting ours on our last trip, it was really cold outside, thought I was going to damage them getting them back in. They are a great product, can't wait to try the new ones.
Yes the new ones do open easier. My old ones were not bad because I had loosened the bolts just a little bit. A little goes a long way.
Of course you have to remove the original steps to move the parts to the new ones. One thing that I noticed when I reinstalled the new steps on the frame was that I had to adjust the tightness of the two mounting bolts the right amount to allow the steps to swing into the home position so the handle on the side would drop into place. Was that "wordy" enough. The big thing that you will notice is how smooth the steps operate.
The change over went really well but let me caution you that you need to work on them on the floor or ground. I was working on mine on a picnic table. You would be amazed how far one of those phenolic washers will roll if you drop it and have to hunt it. Been there, done that.
