Arcticridr, here’s some pics of what I’ve done. I’ve looped it through the one hole in end at top then through the ratchet. It’s like it has playtex maxi pad wings,,,,,, can cinch it tight this way though, but I worry about the stitching as it pulls the cover at 180 from the stitches, which will rip I’m sure. My buddy’s ripped 3 of the 4 ratchets right off. Not to mention the elastic at bottom can’t even stretch and hold anything, just free floats.
You’ll see another pic where I have a finger poking through the lower hole. Tried inserting strap through that one first then up into top hole then through ratchet. This way you don’t get much cinch happening, can barely ratchet, and it also puts a lot of pressure on those threads. Also the elastic is then trapped under the hook so again useless.
Is one of these the right way or have I got this all wrong? For $360 was hoping for a little finer system.
