we have lost our velcro straps and have been using bungee cords- any other ideas so it doesn't open up

 

I bought a package of them at wallyworld. Their in the RV supply section.

 

thanks-will look next time I'm there

 

Mine didn't come with them for some reason, so I went to home depot and got velcro strips. They came with each side of the stip seperated and with the sticker peal on the back. I just unpealed and put the two sides together, cut to size and bam! Hope that helps. I think it cost me $8

 

I went to REI and bought a crapload of these http://www.rei.com/product/709049 .

They're great. I use them to bind up flapping seatbelts, the top, cargo....


They'll cut them to size for you as well... after you buy them of course...

 

Mine seemed alittle short so I found a set at ACE hardware that were longer, they have a plastic hoop on one end that you put the velcro strap in and pull back onto itself ... like a velcro strap watch band kinda thing, you know.

 

go to best buy, radio shack or circuit city (before they're out of business), and buy yourself a pack of velcro cable tie strips.

 

See this thread. These straps work great and can be purchased from REI online.

 

Hi! I just use the bungee cords... Cheap, works, who cares? Take care... Mike

 

update on this product, it is not UV stable
it is great for all the stuff I used it for, that does not get sunlight
and it is good if you do not have your top down for long, but 6-7 months in the Texas sun destroys this stuff
