are the rods that hold the cables flexible or is it solid? if it is solid and not flexible, how long is the unit from end to end?

They are flexible. you can twist, or bend them to a degree. I installed mine months ago. By memory, I would have to say they are around 2 feet long. I would suggest that while you have the door open installing them, clean all your window tracks and make sure they are thoroughly lubed. That's what I did, and mine work flawlessly. The right 1 is as fast as the left to open and close.

Flexable and you must fold them into a figure 8. I agree with others that You tube has similar power lock installation that will help you tremendously.

they are solid but they are easily bendable to conform to the door area of installation. very easy to install!

The motor drives cables, which are flexible, to rotate the gear on other end, which slips over existing regulator gear. There are rigid flat metal pieces that mount everything to the door.

What's the distance between the two roll bars? I don't have my unit in front if me right now, but I think it will extend to about 3 feet and I don't think it would sag - it's a pretty sturdy design even when extended. The ends are a v-shape, and you can tighten the rods to wedge tightly. What's the diameter of your roll bar?

This is a cord installation so it's flexible. You can hang it on a sloped ceiling without a problem but I don't remember how much cord they give you. Keep in mind that these are all hand blown so the colors can vary somewhat.

It's 9.5 inches from end to end, so the flexible part is actually a couple inches shorter. You will need an HDMI cable to connect it to something anyway.

Very flexible but not flimsly. They are great but flat wires would he better for me

I can fit 130 ft of 12/3 cable because I roll it neat and tight. If that is your normal way of rolling wire then it will take 100 feet of 10/3 or come pretty close. The average 12/3 is 0.595 inches and the 10/3 is 0.660 inches, so not that different. But if you just want to rapidly wind it up after working then, it will not hold as much wire.

While I haven't measured mine, I'm sure it is at least 6 foot long. I had no problem connecting from the TV to the lower shelf. Besides, these are standard (and inexpensive) RCA cables that can be purchased anywhere for a song.

Very flexible. I actually have it slightly folded up to connect to my wii u and PS3 whenever I want to switch.

No it is not that responsive it is more meant to hold the cables until needed. Not to extend and return repeatedly

According to the information provided by Curt, the minimum break force is 7,500 pounds. When the cables are coiled, thelength is about 12 inches, however I have to extend them somewhat to connect to my vehicles hitch. I really like them, for they provide a really neat appearance because everything stays taut, and there is nothing hanging down as is typical when chains are used for securing. If I had it to do again I would make the same choice.

It's a cable, not a rope. The unit I received was a piece of junk that didn't work at all, so it wouldn't have mattered whether the cable was 1 foot or 50 feet long.

am not sure, but the one of the ends is made from rubber, so is some flexible

It's not a rod, its a cord and it is at least 4' long (I think) it's been a while since we put them up

No. Sorry. The shelves are stationary. They are welded in place, which makes the unit sturdy, but not flexible.

The cable is only about 9 inches long. Frankly, it's the only feature that I don't really like about the unit, since the cable has something of a mind of its own and tends to turn the unit sideways if not set up in the most favorable position.

It's fairly flexible........I roll mine up like a sleeping bag and store it in my closet. Hope this helps.

It's approximately 6ft long and very flexible. Btw: I reviewed this several years ago and my wife is still using it and still loves it. She asked me to buy her another one in case they quit making them.
