The details section states that there is a "hook and loop" closure. The one I just received has a velcro closure. Anyone else experience this too?

Hook and loop is the name for generic Velcro. Velcro is a brand name. Hook and eye closure is like a bra strap.

In the few months that I've got it, the "hook" has never unhooked itself during use. Not even once. Hope this helps!

Its hard to explain over text. But its not velcro. It takes advatage of how the plastic is folded to keep it shut. I would totally reccomend looking up a video for a visual representation.

Front side facing u, pull hook very hard for the first time, once open on rightside it should drop open. Hope this works for u. Let me know.

There is a loop in each of the 4 corners. The bottom two loops have a plastic hook closure. The loops in the top corners fit easily over my hooks already in the cargo area of the car (standard in my vehicle).

The one I received had elastic loops. There was nothing to fasten them to, so I used zip ties to secure the loops to the top rod. Furthermore, the loops lost all elasticity, so I will have to find another way to fasten it this year.

I am having the same problem. I can't figure out how to open the plastic covers to shorten the knot. Anyone else out there know how??

Unfortunately this is a flaw in the design. Mine broke. I ended up putting Velcro on the back.

We took off the top hooks, un-threaded the whole strap, put the waist clip back on, re-threaded through the little sliding length adjuster. You will have some strap still dangling, because it is long, but it is working for us and way easier to load and unload our twins. They would hate being strapped down! This is on the 2009 version, but I think the straps are the same. Does this make any sense to you?

there is a velcro connection that rips off the first time you use it. If you can sew the velcro on instead of gluing it, there might be a chance of it staying on.

Hi Cheryl, I had a very hard time with this also. I loosened the tension all the way & enlisted my wife's help. I held up the handles and my wife connected the hook. It took the two of us to finally get it. I think we were trying too hard; because, it just kind of went into place. Sorry, it's hard to explain what we did. It was very frustrating. Good luck

Yes, I had the same issue. It was upsetting as the photo shows it is for both styles of nets; however, it is not. The net droops between sections. I had a few plastic clamps will Velcro for another purpose and used those to overcome the issue. Truly is misrepresentation for certain. I decided it was easier to keep the net and modify than to go through the hassle to send back.

I just received this today and much to my dismay it came with a VELCRO fastener and NO belt clip. (??) I have ordered this case 6 times previously and it ALWAYS came with a magnetic fastener and a belt clip. (What am I supposed to do with no belt clip?) Please re-send the CORRECT case! Sending this back.

It is weird and not well designed. A loop would be better.I cross my straps, like Im tying a shoelace at the start, then attach the straps to each other's velcro. Works decent.

My son sent a picture of how the rubber band should look but I can't download the picture, sorry. I would say his picture looks like the band would goes around the two gray hooks and then twice around the orange hook. Hopefully the second person helped you with their explanation.

The big loops on one side of the screen are "handles" to use instead of pushing/pulling on the mesh itself. The small black tabs on either side are velcro. You attach their mates, if so desired, to the inside of your door frame to get better closure on the screen. Esp. useful if you have kids, dogs, people running in and out.

Hi Angela,in answer to your question if how does the hook come off? I haven't used the hook yet,but I would try to gentler work a sharp knife under the hook them when you get it off run spot with goo gone till. The residue came off.Good Luck.
