Cenipar Dishwasher Rack Tine Prong Repair End Cover Caps (100pcs) Anti Slip 1 inch Round Tips

These worked fine. I like them. Easy to install, most fit well. I needed to place some glue on a few to stop them from being lifted when dished were taken out of the dishwasher. It worked great for extending the life of my 15 year old dishracks by covering rust spots that were starting to appear on some the rack holder tips. I also like the way it helps stabilize the dishes in the rack and minimizes movements and clanking when washing.

great item and solution

Perfect for repairing dishwasher racks where the tips are staring to rust due to wear over time, but the rest of the dishwasher is still fine. This also helps to prevent scratches of dishware. Seems like they should last quite awhile. Easy to install and good price for so many of them.

I can't emphasize the title enough. So, like many others, I struggled to get these on as they came (which was, of course, without any instructions whatsoever). After consulting google and confirming that yes, caps and dishrack tines all come in standard sizes and there was no chance I had ordered the wrong thing, I did what a few other reviews have mentioned and put them in warm water first. It helped a bit, but not a lot, and here's what I found to be the best process through a lot of trial and error: - Keep a small pot of water *just* at boiling on the stove. - Toss a handful of the caps in and wait 10-15 seconds. - Using tongs or tweezers, pick one cap out of the boiling water and give it a quick shake to empty the water inside. (If you miss the brief window to put it on a tine and it cools, pop it back in the water.) - Quickly slide it onto a tine using a spiral/twisting motion all the way down, like screwing on a bottlecap. The twisting is important - not only does it help it get all the way down before it cools, but if you don't, the cap can get bunched up along the way and you'll have to try and either smooth it out of pull it off to re-do it. - When you've used up the ones in the pot, toss in another handful and repeat. Once I had that system in place, it was like night and day, and I got my *entire* bottom rack re-covered in under five minutes. The caps are SO much easier to work with when they're the consistency of a thick water balloon, especially if you have some tines that are misshapen from the coat peeling and/or rust swelling up (I had a few). That's why I went with four stars - there's nothing wrong with the actual product, but it was way too frustrating for what it is and I wasted a lot of time (and a few of the caps) due to the complete lack of useful instructions.

These little silicone tips are great. Made my dishwasher rack like new. I suggest soaking them in hot water for a few minutes and using a dish towel or something like that to help with grip while sliding them on. The only suggestion I'd have is make them a pack of 125 or 150. I was 19 short. But I should have counted my tines before ordering.

Unfortunately did not work for my dishwasher rack prongs - were too tight to get on all the way.

I had high hopes for these! Our dishwasher is older and the tips of the rack pegs have worn off their plastic and are starting to rust. These covers were easy to install, but don’t all seem to stay in place. Each time I empty the dishwasher, I find a few in the bottom. I realize they are being knocked off when I remove the dishes, but I think they do fit a little too loose. (We have a Whirlpool dishwasher for reference.) Maybe they will fit your dishwasher rack better than mine? Hard to say. It was worth a try for the price, but at some point I’m going to tire of picking them out of the bottom of the dishwasher…

The prong tips were tight to put on, so I used a little dish soap. They are working great on my 26 year dishwasher. Older dishwashers use a grinding disposal to get rid of food particles instead of a nasty screen at the bottom.
