It gets real hot here in Georgia and I have had trouble with the velcro tape coming un glued in the heat. I had a brain storm. I purchased a pop rivet gun, some 3/16 x 1/4 rivets and rivet washers. I drilled 3 holes through the tape and trailer on each side of the trailer, put in the rivets, placed a washer on the bottom side inside the trailer and popped the rivets. Looks like it is going to hold fine now. The bra covers over the rivet heads but you could paint them black. I only did this on the sides because I was not having a problem on the front edge of the trailer. I noticed some others having similar problems at Woodward. I have also found that using Acetone works well for celaning the surface before applying the tape. But be careful this stuff will damage your paint. ------------------

Good Idea Rich  I thought about trying to get some small snaps and put on the back edge of the bra and trailer. I have not had any problems but along the sides. But I have to change it at least once a year. Maybe next year I will do as you have. ------------------

That happened to me 2 years ago and I went to Home Depot and got the commercial Velcro and have not had a problem since. It does get hot in Sacramento and we were along at Crazy Horse. Did need to clean with denatured alcohol to clean up the old glue before putting the new Velcro on. ------------------ This message has been edited by CA Phil on 10-07-2001 at 10:36 PM |
