Does top come off so solar top can be put on in its place

AnswersYes, the top of the post can be pulled off.

Asked by Joe June 8, 20186
AnswersI could see TRYING to do that if cement was $1,000 a bag, but it's not!!!! Dig out the old cement and splurge for a couple of bags of quick dry cement. By the way, this goes OVER the wood post. If it is rotted out you need a new pressure treated post. Those ain't expensive either. Put the post in the open hole, dump in the bags of cement (dry) and then pour in enough water to soak down to the bottom. All done.

For a larger mailbox you need to use a larger post then 4x4. Needs to be for more support. Had to measure and cut a piecein lieu of buying 4x4 which I did and couldn't return. My mailbox is wood with cedar roof so weight is 14 pounds. Also to line up the screws and attach with the plastic piece there is barely room to get your hands in there to attach !
Easy no not really.....but looks nice..took 2 hours to do.
But I was not experienced in this stuff so neighbor helped.
Alot of work for me !

Pole was put together quickly, and when mounted was very sturdy. I really wanted a black post to go with my mailbox, however I improvised and spray painted it black. Looks awesome.

September 18, 2018
Looks great and installing was not difficult.... BUT... shakes in every direction because there is too much play between the 4x4 and the cover (not because the 4x4 isn't cemented correctly). You can see the gap at the base of the post (see pic). There is also play around the hole through which the mounting arm runs, and none of the screws fit tightly because the plastic is pliable, which may get worse with heat. Eventually, this will compromise structural integrity and shorten the life of the unit. I'm especially annoyed because shaking is what ruined my last mailbox (diff brand /design) and digging up 50 lbs of concrete is a pain. I'm going to try to remedy this with a 1/4" wedge between the 4x4 and the cover. Also, the kit requires a 48 inch 4x4, so be sure to have Home Depot cut your post in-store, or have means to cut it yourself if you can't purchase a 48 inch post separately. Would be great if kit included a stop-gap or instructions how-to.

This product was an excellent choice. It took me about a couple of hours last week to fully install. The install was fairly easy.
When I installed the wooden post, I sprayed the 4x4 wooden post with WD-40.
Then I picked up the two and banged in the 4x4 into the plastic post by lifting it up and dropped it against my concrete driveway several times until the wooden post was at the correct inside height.
After that, normal post installation was a breeze. BTW, I used the Sika 33 fl. oz. Fence Post Mix instead of concrete. It worked easily and flawlessly. Nice & easy! It's available also at HD.
After the complete install Crazy Glued the address numbers to the post, much easier that to try to bang in nails. Also, I made sure that I matched post with any Gibraltar post-mount mailbox with the designation letter codes A, B, or C. That's important.
The only con were in the directions. I wish they were in a clearer step by step procedure. I found them to be a bit ambiguous and had to really study them to make sure each piece, especially the small ones, were inserted correctly.
Here is an image of the completed project.

This mail box post makes installing an attractive mail box easy. Just cement in a pressure treated 4X4 and slip this post over it. Some people complained that it wouldn't fit over a 4X4, but I had NO problem at all. It fit really nice.
