I installed one on my 9-5 and after tightening it down the lever used to open the valve was pointed straight down. I was not so crazy about that as it looked like it would be quite vulnerable to rocks, etc. I thought about adding another washer to see if the lever would move up but at that point I removed the whole thing.
