No that is the is how both reels were installed with flat tabs. The bottom has a bolt as it shows but the top tab slides in the notch on the top where the reel feeds through. The repair manual states it bolts in on top and bottom but that's not how they were installed on this suburban. It would be very difficult to install a top bolt. When I called Pullman she wanted me to send her a picture of what style reel came out of the suburban. That's how they made it because you have to special order them. They worked perfectly and only cost $38.00 apiece plus tax and shipping. I also wanted to mention that the guides mounted to the inside of the body where the cable exits through to go down to the gate. Its easy to miss and a bit of a pain to get the cable lined up.
