Often the issue with URO products relates directly to rubber or polymer parts, they seem to be just as cheap as they can be.

My rule of thumb is that if it's (1) a relatively inexpensive part that (2) is pretty easy to install and (3) is not mission-critical, it's worth a shot.

I wouldn't use a URO tensioner, because it's mission-critical. But I would buy a replacement roof mobile antenna gasket (208/210), since it's cheap ($26), easy to change and meaningless (not to mention that you can't buy it separately from the dealer).

I bought a transmission mount that was URO and it was replaced in just over a year. I'm not sure when it had failed, but as it was after a year I had no recourse for the junk part...and yes, it was the rubber part that failed.

If you decide to go that route, do be sure to follow up.

Good luck.
