Reviews indicate the newer version isn't as good as the pre-China version unfortunately so is there a pull string or just elastic to fit? thanks

The one I have has elastic, but I also am using the elastic clips that hold the opposite sides together. I had them from my old cover, and just put them on this new one. The cover is well padded and cute. Wish I would have gotten it years ago!

I love the ironing board cover. It has elastic and fits just fine. I hope this was helpful.

Elastic - but it fits very snuggly and I have had mine about a year and it still fits well.

I recommend using some other type of zipper pull. I made mine out of micro paracord-I found the how-to on you tube. Ordered the paracord on Amazon. The best thing about this method is that the pulls are easy to grip. Leather looks cool, but not a good long term solution.

There are a set of adjusters on each side of the cover that can be used to tighten the cover using a socket of wrench. As received it was plenty tight. When the cover is rolled out, the end is placed in a set of clips that pull the cover into tension. The manual says that over time the cover will stretch, so the adjusters would be tightened to pick up the slack. Hope that helps.

I so not know if there is a different, newer version. I bought this as a gift for my mom. She loves it! Sorry I can't be of more help.

No, there are no pull chains. I think you can buy an extra remote if you're concerned about it.

I emailed Leatherup. They couldn't send me the pulls but they gave me a 10% refund. I'm surprised they haven't changed the pics. If you look you can find them online. Don't recall the websight.

It is elastic were you can tighten it up to make the cover fit tighter. The cover fits like a glove and great factory quality

Cut the spring shorter until it fits right. Works awesome for me now. Plus I complained to the company because I had to modify it to fit. They refunded me double what I paid. I suggest you do the same since these junk chinese companies think they can sell crap to the US and get away with it.

These newer ones are a softer more pliable material. I have had no problems with them... I have two..

Yes the string is easy enough to pull and quite robust. The only weak point is the plastic of the center bit. So I would avoid anything with too much resistance, such as chocolate or fats. We use it every day got about two years use out of it before we had to get a new one.

Nope, this kit allows you to replace the 'slide' that closes the zipper when you zip the garment. You can find 'pull' replacements on line or in a fabric store.

Take out the metal part and pull. It was tight for me initially but easier now. If it's not coming out pull harder!

The elastic cord just slips through an opening, then goes around a "clamp arm" that hold it. We just seared the ends of bungee to prevent fraying, no knots needed ( but you could put in a knot). Has worked well for us, as straight and looped bungees for a tarp.

There is an American version and a Japanese version. The american version is a direct fit but a little more expensive where as the Japanese version needs adjusting to fit the bumper but is cheaper.

I'm not sure exactly if there is a difference between mine and the "new" one. But fits mine perfectly and I would think there wouldn't be a major size difference in them if at all. I really like mine good luck.

The main difference, in my opinion, between the old version and the new version is the release mechanism which controls the rotation of the TwiStep from the stowed to the deployed position. The release mechanism on the older version was at the top of the pivot point (which helped keep road dust off of the rotation plate) and was a very quick 3-step process; 1) press side latch in 2) push down on the post 3) Turn TwiStep to deploy at either the 90 or 180 degree position. The release mechanism on the new version is at the bottom of the pivot point on the deck of the TwiStep (which collects a lot of dust) and is 2-steps; 1) pull up on latch - which occasionally gets stuck, 2) rotate TwiStep to the 180 degree position. In addition, the fit into the hitch receiver was much better (didn't "wobble") in the old version and it came with a lock. The new version has a tendency to wobble and requires you to purchase the lock separately if you want it locked. Although the control mechanism is on the deck and prone to getting covered with dust/dirt and wobbles a little it is still secure and highly functional. In comparison to other step devises, this is by far, the best and most convenient one and does not require removal to stow when not in use.
