Reading comprehension gone too, I don't have a car. KMAN is right, I
am not qualified to answerer the question. But I bet KMAN was really
traumatised as a kid by those drapes mother wanted to shield the
furniture from the sun.

LOL. Just to clarify, I am talking about the house my wife and I live in now
(my mother has her own house). She's all in a fret that we don't have drapes
to protect the furniture. I find putting drapes all over the house is like
living in a big coffin :-)

| Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that.
|
| What you might want to do is attach some velcro fasteners to your
car, and
| using a poweful digital camera mounted on the car and set in an
auto-shoot
| mood, take pictures of the fasteners in action for a period of
several
| months in all types of weather. Use the photos to analyze the
loosening of
| the velcro, if any, and report back as to whether it is truly
unsafe.
|
| You'd think I would have lost at least one in the past twenty
years.
|
| You are obviously just lucky, but nevertheless ignorant.
|
| That is what I use to hold my 9.5
| foot double ended paddle to my role bar on my Jeep. Come to think
of
| it, I've also used them to hold my canoe on the role bar (I have
some
| realy long ones). I guess I'll have to stop using them on my Jeep,
| motorcycle, backpack, canoe, cycle, and snowmobile sleigh.
|
| Correct. You have not only endangered your equipment, but the lives
of the
| many people who have been in proximity as you've driven by in your
various
| vehicles. Your reckless use of velcro means you are a borderline
criminal.
| Why did you not at least consult this group before foolishly
proceding in
| this manner?
|
| However,
| just to be on the safe side, I have taken the liberty of CC'ing
Velcro
| Industries to see what they have to say for themselves. Thanks
| Michael.
|
| Perhaps it will arrive just after my letter, congratulating them for
a
| product that has held up against gale force winds and thunderstorms
in
| securing the bug screen on my porch.
