The idiots I bought my house from (low-cost flipper dippers) did not secure the dishwasher correctly. I have granite countertops, and instead of securing the sides to the wood cabinets, the flipper dipper morons laid a bunch of silicone caulk on the underside of the granite and "screwed" the top bracket into that. Who'd have thunk that anyone was that stupid? Lo and behold, 3 years later, my dishwasher "fell out" of the spot it was in because constant use essentially "vibrated" the screws out of the caulk. As I didn't have the side-brackets, and was at a loss of how to secure the dishwasher in its spot, I found this granite countertop kit -- best solution I've researched. After stripping the underside of caulk, and cleaning the granite with acetone, then alcohol, and waiting for it to dry, I affixed the original under-cabinet brackets to the top of the dishwasher and use this kit per the instructions and * voila *, problem solved. So far, great solution - 5 stars for now. I do have a WARNING for anyone who buys this - make sure you line up everything correctly and be very patient when moving the dishwasher into position BEFORE applying the adhesive side to the countertop. I was impatient and my installation is crooked. Otherwise, an elegant solution to a simple problem.
19Jun21: One of the mounts had its adhesive fail and it fell off. It’s on the rough underside of granite, and I thought it was supposed to bond. It didn’t. Oh well. Have to find another solution. ????????♂️
