Yes, I did get it. Can you tell me what your requirements are for testing?

As a new addition to this forum's vendor roster, we'd like to (re)introduce ourselves and our product. This one of a kind solution has been around for 09-14 trucks a couple of years ago. We're a small, family-owned interior accessories company and it took us way more than it would have (if we were a big company) to expand our product line to where we wanted it to be. But... we finally got there!

Our product called the SnapRest® is the instant solution to more comfortable driving. Doesn't require modification of your vehicle's door! Installs in seconds without use of tools. Previously available for 09-14, now introducing fitments for 2015-19 F-150 and 2017-19 Superduty trucks.

We've sold over 2000 units and customers' feedback of SnapRest® can be summarized as:
"The materials used are high quality, the concept is great, and the armrest is comfortable."
and
"Love the arm rest. Took the pain away from my shoulder while driving!"


It's also available (09-14 so far only, working on adding newer models) on AmericanTrucks.com where it received a 4.7 out of 5 average review.

All the commercial issues, special promo code, etc - find that in our vendor ad.

Let me just leave you a teaser picture here, so that you have a reason to go see all the other colors/fitments in the ad!

2015-19 F-150 and 2017-19 Superduty:


Guys any questions, comments or issues, we're here for you! We love to be back on the forums!
6’1 here, old, bad back and ugly as hell. I can use some added comfort.

Same here. I’d love to test one. I’m 5’11”, 320lbs and drive roughly 800 miles a week. I have a ‘17 f-150 xl SuperCab with bench seat.

What about afixing it to the door via the havy duty velcro? That way if they rip it off, no big deal, just stick it back on? https://www.velcro.com/products/indu...w-profile/?sku

I think the point is not that it would stay in their hand, but what might happen to the door. So velcro, or double-faced tape are pretty equivalent in regards to the door swinging free. The point is not to let it come off the door. And that can be achieved using a screw. I would feel that either more tape, or velcro, should be sufficient, but I couldn't guarantee it would be in all circumstances. The #10 screw 1 1/2 inch long as per my previous post... I can't imagine anyone ripping that off. But I understand not everyone would want to use a screw, so warning others not to use SnapRest to close the door would be needed unless the heavy-duty installation is done.

The damage to the door is really, really small. The little scuff visible after screw was installed and then removed is not this door's biggest problem, and keep in mind this picture uses heavy zoom to focus on that particular area. It has some other smears on it, and a couple of scratches since one of our guys loves heavy rings that he keeps rapping on the door out of habit. Even if you want to sell the car after a few years, chances are the door won't be pristine anyway. And this particular problem can be repaired in an upholstery shop without much difficulty.

I would be willing to give it a shot with an honest review. I’ve got an 18 XLT, am 5’9” tall and spend the majority of my work days in my truck (200-500 miles a day usually). Helping the shoulder and back pain without having to lower the seat and dump truck around to utilize the arm rest would be great.

Hi guys

We chose 5 people for the testing and everyone has been contacted via private messages.

To those that weren't - you can still get 20% off a unit if you use the discount code in our vendor ad... AND, to put more icing on the cake, we have a giveback program whereby you can get up to $20 refunded for an endorsement online.

Are these pretty much mostly for short people ? I never notice an issue with my left arm being too short to comfortably drive with my elbow on the door rest.

It's really subjective but we've had reports of SnapRest significantly improving comfort from both short and tall people. It's really personal and depends on your build, your favorite seat position, etc.
