We love ours (bought at Lowes), but one caveat: they only have one point of tie-down. If you have them halfway down, etc., they blow out in wind and slam continually. It's noisy. A friend of mine put some in that run up and down in channels on either side, so no matter at what point he puts them, they are secure and not flapping. I don't know where he got them, but I would go for that instead.
We've tried to get Lowes to come back and put another set of tie-downs in halfway between open and closed, but the installer never calls us back. I guess it's too small a job for him.
So if you do go with Lowes, order a second and possibly third set of tie-downs and have them installed all at once.
