Angry Velcro problems...

...on the foot well covers on the middle row of seats. They don't hold anymore and never held very well. They never seemed to be aligned very well. Is there a quick fix or have they come up with a better way?

I didn't know they had velcro - oh maybe that's the middle bench ?
I have the "captain" chairs in the middle...

You do know you can buy rolls of velcro pretty cheap and glue/sew them onte whatever you want ????

I think I got my roll at Home depot or Lowes....

CPT Dan-

Are you a service Man? Which? I have an LT (Army) working near me now with a first name of Dan. LT Dan never gets old.

The velcro is an issue with all I think but I have never heard of a fix. Just last week I put mine down to load something, unloaded and put the cover in its spot. The next day when I took off from a light, it fell and scared the **** out of me but not as bad as the time I forgot to put the 3rd row seat down!!!! That made me pull over. The velcro is weak and mis-aligned. I took sewing in Jr. High and I think that qualifies me to attach new velcro when needed. Maybe someone else has a better fix.

No, not in the service. I fly hot air balloons and my crew started calling me that. It kinda stuck. There is one guy at work that calls me Lt. Dan, for no real reason.


Back to the subject - I could fix it myself, but it is still under warranty. Is there a service bulletin on this by chance?

i've got a 04 with the same issue i think the simple fix is changing over to a snap button as the velcro isent positioned to keep it tight anyway.i'll try to see if this will work this weekend
