    Haven't thrown mine since putting this on, so the fix continues to hold.

    Good to hear. I look forward to never having to jack with that belt again.

    Mine's on the way. It would be unusually warm here right now so I actually want to use my AC in February. Normally, I wouldn't need it this time of year.

    Paypal sent. I only threw mine once and never knew it till I went to pick up my parents at the airport and the a/c didn't work. Luckly I was able to just put it back on.

    Tensioner ---> puts tension on a belt.
    Idler ----> guides a belt.

    In stock form you have an idler and a tensioner on the main belt.
    In stock form you only have a tensioner on the A/C belt.

    Stock form.


    A/C belt fix adds an A/C belt idler.


    With new A/C bracket fitted. A/C belt now has a tensioner and an idler to guide the belt.
