How are they installed? I thought I read they have a rod pocket. Can they be pulled open and closed. That would be tough with a rod pocket install.

Yes, they are a rod pocket install. However, you could buy some of those curtain clips with the rings attached and clip them on the top and then they'd slide easily. Also, be aware that the background of these is not white like they appear in the photo. They have a greenish-yellow tinge to them that surprised me. It's not unattractive, but I prefer white sheers because they let in more light.

The curtains have a rod pocket. I open and close them by just pushing the fabric.

They are rod pocket but they slide easy on regular size rods. You only get one panel, so order 2 if you are wanting more than one. They are absolutely beautiful and very good quality. The pics don't do them justice.

You don't pull them out. You unscrew the screw in post that holds them all together and take them out and put them back the same way. Look at the post that holds them, it screws apart.

They come in a plastic case that closes from the top. It closes pretty tight, so you should be fine. If you think you'll be too rough you can slap a piece of tape on the part it opens from.

They slide on a rod. They are a tight slide so if you move them with you foot they do not collapse like my last pair did. I have been very happy with them. They are used everyday by children and adults.

You twist them (to the left I think). I had trouble with one of mine and had to twist and pull quite a bit before it popped open. Tricky little suckers.

I had a dickens of a time getting it to close as well. I had to eventually, but mindfully paying attention and pushed them together with a little bit of force. They are hard to open too. I would say I hate the aggravation of that immensely, however, that also means it isn't going to give easily if dropped!

Just wiggle and flex the rods a touch and they should slide in. Also make sure you pulled off the thread protectors.

My husband says: each box consists of two rods. these two rods use a single coupler to join them. if you buy a second box (of rods), you can use the coupler from the second set to attach a third rod to the first two rods. The fourth rod, there is nothing to attach it. Another option is to remove the end caps and align the rods so they meet. Sorry for the delay. I'm not a good checker of email. Christina

Kirk, read the instruction sheet for each to be sure - I couldn't pull them up before posting. I believe the difference between these kits is one allows you to install the adjustable push rods without removing the rocker covers (Quickee kit you cut the current push rods and remove them from the side of the engine - the other kit (may) require removing the gas tank and rocker covers to remove current push rods and install new ones. I installed the quickee set in my '00 Road King with a gear drive cam kit - super easy and no problems in 4k miles of commuting. There are also a lot of you-tube videos showing install of these and other parts (cams, etc..) - J&P; site has lots of links and videos.

There are 2 screws on the outside of the door that are removed, then the whole thing pulls out. On the other side there is a cover that pops off with a screwdriver that exposes the internal parts. When you get it it will be obvious. Kind of hard to explain and I put them in a month or so ago and don't remember the specifics, but I do remember it was pretty much a "no-brainer". They look really good and work perfectly. They don't look or feel cheap. Good Luck

There is a screw in the back you take lose. I had to pry it open & it didn't tighten down real good but good enough to hold them.

They open by lifting the tabletop up and back to the "open" position. They work very well for me. I used a pre assembled tabletop have had no problems

There are pins that keep rods intact. the pins cannot be removed. Allows rods to drain without falling through

Not to seem sarcastic, but the open screw ones are open and the closed are closed?The open ones have a hole in the side and you can see the screws. The closed ones are totally closed. I am not a huge audiophile, so I can't say why you would want the open ones. I think the for majority of people, the closed ones are the way to go. Also, the "hardest" thing to using these is to make sure you don't put a lot of wire over the end, it makes it hard to screw the thing closed. Good luck!

The ends don't spin or pull off. It would be difficult to remove them. I didn't try taking the rod apart, but I imagine it would be hard to put back together and have it work properly.You really just pull one end (stretch it) until you exceed the desired length by 1". Then you compress the rod and put it in place, then release. It has budged since I installed it.

You just push them in...start with the "positive" end...from what I remember it's sort of tight but you CAN get them installed!

They will slide and drive you crazy until you really cinch in the bolt at each mount - you should have 2 in your package - they work by holding the rod up tight to the mount. Once you have done that, you can push the little plastic sleeves to make the center of your rod more stable.
