Anyone know if the sticky side will adhere to cotton fabric? Would like to use Velcro instead of buttons to open and close the flap on my haversack.

This product certainly will adhere to at least some cloth products. If applied properly, especially to a denser-weaved cloth, it will hold under light use. Maybe well enough to work on the haversack.

It won't stick to fabrics well enough to use. But if you have a needle and thread, there is no reason you couldn't put a few stitches on each side!

It's not very sticky, but on rough clothing it's not a big hassle. you can try these (I'm interested in trying them, too: Hideagrip for no more slip Small )

If your window sill is painted or not extremely smooth the velcro tape will not hold for long. It's best if you can use heavy staples or at thumbtacks to secure the velcro in place. One of my guys is 15 pounds and has caused the perch to fall completely off. The sticky surface did not hold the tape to the sill.

Just got mine and there is no velcro on the bottom to prevent sliding as someone else noted. If the back of your car is hard finish, no big deal, but thought this would be a plus for fabric in back .... will need to add some.

No. There is "hook" on one side and "loop" on the other. You should get Velcro with industrial strength adhesive if you want the Velcro to be sticky on one side. You may want to visit a Home Depot or Lowes to see the options and then come back to Amazon to get the better price. The adhesive Velcro has limitations. I tried to used the sticky Velcro on cloth and it did not hold up. You may have to get Velcro without the sticky side and use epoxy to attach the Velcro permanently.

I have used everyday for a month and it stiill sticks. My issue is if I leave flap exposed to where it can be pulled away, it will pull away, so I turn it around

It won't attach to a fabric. The suction base requires a smooth hard surface like the vinyl dash material. In my case, I took the base off and used Velcro to attach the clamp portion only to my vinyl dash in order to keep it low enough not to obstruct the view.

Hello, I purchased this item and have the same slipping problem. I have to purchase Velcro also. I've decided that a strip of Velcro across the end of the flap that goes under the mattress, then another strip that will go across the back of the organizer at the seam where the box part will hang down the side of the bed.I'm going to place the Velcro on the flat of the box spring so it will have a stronger hold. I think it will be helpful to have a second pair of hands for this job. I pinned the organizer in this manner, and I think it's the best option, I hope this helps you Tana

I used the slip resistant pad, but found it both unnecessary and annoying as the corners kept flapping. No amount of tucking them in kept them in. The carrier exterior is very smooth. I will not use the pad again. If you are concerned about damaging the paint and want to use the pad, I recommend trimming it to just under the loaded carrier or just put an old blanket or something under it (but ensure that none of it protrudes from under the carrier or you will have to deal with the flapping noise.

I saw the complaints as well and was concerned so maybe being cautious--not rushing to open-- I have had no problem with the zippers on either end. They felt sturdy to me. I did fee that if the flap came down once unzipped, rather than up, you would not need to use the velcro each time to keep flap out of way when putting pet in.

Mine does have a 3-sided rectangular zipper around the opening for the console. You can then roll up the flap that lays on the seat and it sticks to itself with velcro and tucks into seat crease. This way when the console is up the flap is not flapping around.I agree that the picture looks like it does not have the option. Sounds like there are conflicting responses to this question - so no easy answer. Maybe there are different year models of this seat cover - I bought mine May 2012 - was sold by AutoGoodParts which is different than the current seller. -contact the manufacturer/seller. Good Luck.

No velcro but it fits snugly all the way down the sides. We often have 30+ mph winds and haven't had problems with it blowing off.

That happened with my old flap. I took two clear vinyl rulers and bolted them to the flap on both sides across the middle of it. That worked for awhile. The rulers acted as a stiffener for the flap. Someone also told me that if I wanted to get the warp fixed I should take the flap off the door and place something heavy on it for a while to straighten out the warp. Since it was winter time I opted for the rulers instead. It worked.

I cannot recall at 100% as we leave ours open at all times but I am quite certain it either zips or velcrows. I will be up north next weekend so if you want confirmation please send another question next week and I will know by then.

I have a speck case...and it doesn't fit well with it. it won't button close and the flap doesn't just fall down on top of it so you'd have to restructure the button or sew Velcro on. hope this helps and makes sense.

Mine's got some time left on it so I haven't an answer. Might go to an arts & crafts store like Hobby Lobby...I won't but if you don't have any problems with that company they may have some velcro strips you could use...

I personally don't think it would be permanent enough for buttons. The stitch nylon would not be strong enough, and it is a letter I shaped stitch so the ends wouldn't just slip through the button hole.
