Please post pics after the installation, and whether the installation was as PnP simple as the vid makes it look, i.e., no glitches or other surprises.

So I ordered something on Amazon the day before this was posted as available. The install is super easy, the only thing to watch out for is on the back cover of the assembly the clips are pretty brittle. Do not bend them any more than necessary for removal. I snapped one off, fixed it with a dab of epoxy so no worse for the wear but might as well avoid the problem in the first place.

Maybe we can do a forum "Go Fund Me" buddy campaign to help pay your shipping burden.

How about you pay for his start / stop button with next day shipping and he pays for your health insurance

Not everything is more expensive in Canada.

$29.95 for a red plastic button? How is this any different from the ones all over Ebay for about half the price?

Not familiar with the ones on Ebay so cant comment on quality / fitment but keep in mind that the cheaper ones are shipped from China direct, which means it need 3-4 weeks to arrive and if you are not happy with the product you will have to ship it back to China in order to get your refund (shipping back will cost more than the product of course)

Not really, for example, if you buy it on Aliexpress and u are not happy with the product (because it is broken, scratched or does not fit well... etc) you can claim the money or reach an agreement and get half the money back. But you always keep the product.

If you feel that is the better route, go for it

I wouldn't want to keep a faulty product or one that i am not happy with to save $10

I don't get the point of jabbing (shaming?) vendors over pricing. Cast your vote by buying, or not.

I'd buy from this vendor just because he shows some class when attacked.
