Boot - what's the trick?

Post by gull »

Okay, someone clue me in. What's the trick for getting those little hooks into the little loops?

Hook the hooks on the rear first then snap the front. If the tabs are out of sync for your boot that could be why they are a little off, or hard to fasten

Awesome link...thanks Brian!! 8) I hadn't seen tha one before.

An yeah, Brian's right...put the hooks in first, then stretch the boot towards the front and snap it on. I sewed velcro along the front edge of mine so it will hold it down while driving.

Okay. I'll give that a try. I was doing the front first, and once the front snaps and straps are on the rear seems totally hopeless. ;)

It was actually one of the first sites I found. I read practically the whole thing while I was shopping for a Cabriolet. It was really helpful.

It helped me ALOT when I got mine. I found it the day after I bought mine.

I'd be LOST without it.
