Are people receiving this product with an improved mounting? Using metal? Early reviews complained that the plastic mounting would break easily.

The product did have plastic mounting, but I had no problems with it. I used this on an RV and always made sure that it was lowered properly before traveling. Being improperly seated and traveling down a highway would definitely be hazardous on the plastic mounting.

The bracket is metal, but the arm to tighten and lock it in place is plastic. I've had no trouble from it however.

Mine came today (3/25/15) with plastic brackets. I'm worried about them supporting the metal cross bars and legs when in use. I'm not really sure who or how to complain or report this to. I guess I'll have to figure that out.

We've had this for a few months and it's been fine. The only way I see anything cracking is if you torque the screws too tight to damage the mount points or after some years of varying degrees of temperature, which would be normal wear and tear. The other one we had like this was 9 years old before we recently replaced it.

I've never had a problem with the mount. The only real issue is that it doesn't have a small amount of pivot like many other do, so it can be tricky to get it pointing dead-ahead. Other than that, it's been fine by me.

It's designed to mount with two screws. There's a plastic cover that pops off and reveals a metal plate with screw holes. It's a nice flat surface so I suppose it could be attached with a very good adhesive, but wouldn't probably trust that. It ships with the screws.

Yes, it comes with a plastic mount that you can attach to the wall. I have not hung mine yet but my friend has and it looks awesome.

Hi Sam, are you using the transparent plastic holders? I noticed that they give much better support when installed.

Yes it comes with a mount, it is as good as a metal mount can be. You can also mount it in a panel if you want to.

Nope. Just a fixed plastic mount. Mine actually broke off. Pretty weak if you ask me.

Sorry for the long response time, I just looked at it and it seems to be the same "metal" as the old one. I ordered this for my daughter before xmas but managed to find a loose screw in the HDD when I opened it up. It's still working right now so the parts I ordered are kinda just in "limbo" for now. I will update how the install went once I do it. Hope this helps!

Yes....I had no problem securing a metal frame and the license plate with these screws. It should not be an issue with a plastic frame.

I just got it last week, so i have not put it up yet. I will save this email and let you know. hope to put it up this weekend. I can tell you ok, just installed it! it is plastic, but most shower heads are. The shower arm bracket works fine. Good mobility.

Hi Michael! I'm so sorry but I'm a 65 year old woman who just buys and gives things like those to my son. And my son brings it to a shop that does the mounting or whatever is needed to be done. How I wish I could have been of help to you. I'm so sorry. Thanks.

It comes with mounting brackets, may need a little bending but should work no problem.

I had no problems with the mount. Measure carefully, use levels and squares, follow directions, you'll be fine. One thing at a time, do it right, move on to the next thing.....

The answer is " somewhat " but not enough that it interfers with or diminished the excellence of the product. I only noticed it when I was first attaching it, but it works as intented, looks good, and I havn't given it a thought since.
