KugaWestie Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Has anyone got any top tips on how to stop the spare lengths of harness shoulder strap flapping around when you are driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I used some industrial velcro under the ends and it works great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaWestie Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 I tuck them under the shoulder straps. I have done that, but looking for something more permanent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KugaWestie Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 I was thinking about trying some of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/251638209828 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 How did you fix it? I put both the hook and loop pieces together, cut them about an inch wide of the roll, pulled of the backing tape then just pressed the pieces between the harness and the flappy strap of the harness.

Thanks, just self adhesive then. Do you ever adjust the straps? Does the Velcro come apart and stay stuck on OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I use velcro but I have sewn mine on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yes. Just self adhesive. I don't adjust my straps as its just the drivers side that has the velcro on. From memory I have replaced the velcro once I think. It seems to work fine for me ok. I only used the velcro as I had a large roll but it seems ok. Mind you, I am not a fast driver so no idea what it would be like at speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I was thinking about trying some of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/251638209828 I used those, but they are a bit short if you have 3" straps. I have seen cable ties used in the same way Either way, you don't actually need to fix the fastener to the straps in any permanent sense. Just roll up the surplus part of the strap, either around the (undone) velcro strap if using those, or push a cable tie through the middle of the roll if using that, and then fasten the velcro or the cable tie (whichever it is) around the outside of the roll.

D7PNY Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Never really had a problem with mine but I'd prob just use a length of elastic if I did. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FILFAN Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Just put on weight do that there's no adjustment left to flap about. Works for me 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHew Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 +1 for tucking them into the shoulder straps (there's only about a foot that would flap once I've tightened up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry H Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Another vote for tucking the surplus behind the strap. You will forget to do whatever you decide and you won't have time to faff about once you're on track and at a speed that starts the flapping. Dead easy and quick to tuck it in and get on with it.
