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.

| Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that.

| What you might want to do is attach some velcro fasteners to your
car, and

auto-shoot

several

loosening of

unsafe.

years.

of

some

| 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.
