The Sticky fasteners have become gooey and now the pad falls off. How can this be solved? I have tried sticking another Velcro, this too fell apart.

Try cleaning off with Goo Gone and then alcohol and then apply pieces of double stick automotive tape.

I had the fasteners come loose after a time. To solve this I purchased a heavy duty Velcro fastener material that I cut to size, that I purchased from WalMart and it works great, going on my second year with the same fasteners. Just happened to install the seat warmer for the winter season today. I used 5 pieces each 2" X 2.5", One in each corner where the old Velcro was attache and one directly in the center.

Thank you. I will try the Industrial Strength Velcro.. the temp tolerance upto 225F will solve the problem.

I've had mine for a long time and the same thing happened. What I did is to get a couple of large back to back velcro pieces and it seems to stay. You can also get some heavy duty super strength glue to hold the bottom velcro piece just make sure it isn't flammable. Regardless of the problem with the gooey velcro fall offs this toastie tush has saved my tush from freezing many mornings, lol. Good Luck

buy a better grade of velcro than is available at WalMart or Target? Clean with rubbing alcohol and let dry before attempting to stick it

My first one lasted for 8 years. This latest one isn't of the same quality and doesn't work as well. I would try super or gorilla glue. Toss it if that doesn't work

I'm sorry to hear about that! Amazingly, my pup still has his and no issues. If it were me, I'd head out to the craft store or fabric store with the velcro and tag in hand and tell the clerk what I wanted to do and ask for their ideas. I've purchased velcro separately in the past for other projects, so I know it's available. Good luck!

Mine is securely stuck to my dashboard. If it was removed, possibly double stick tape might reattach. The pad is cheap enough that a new replacement may be best.

Did you peel the paper off of the sticky pad on the bottom? I've had mine for a year and it sounds great wherever I put it, however it's about time to replace the sticky pad.

If you contact the company they will send you some new pieces. Unfortunately my dogs tag came off while I was waiting for the velcro (I couldn't find the correct kind at Michael's). Now I have velcro but no tag.

I would buy new Velcro strips, in my town available at Jo Anns and Walmart, probably other stores. this is probably 2 or 3 dollars. This is assuming the Velcro on the body of the support is still good. If it is worn too, make the strip an inch or two longer to so it will go onto unworn Velcro on the main body. The other suggestions sound workable too. Ignore the Velcro problem and just sew a few stitches to hold the straps in place. then slide it on and off like a glove.

Yes! This has happened with every one of the pads I've used from this huge box. So frustrating!

Have you tried putting tape on it (regular clear tape usually works) and peeling it off repeatedly. It sounds wonky, but it works because the bits of gunk stick to the tape.

Try using a strong tape and put it over small sections at a time and sort of rip it off and see if that helps. Also try rubbing alcohol to dissolve the sticky gum. Acetone always works but may ruin cup. I saw it was going to be a problem so I removed the sticker very very slowly so none was left behind. They should have used different sticker.

Im not sure I am the best one to answer: I have not used this every day. But I have sometimes rinsed it in hot water or washed off the pad with soap and water. I have not replaced it at all. It is doiing fine for me. If worried, I might clean it with a stronger detergent or maybe rinse with alcohol or something. I guess if it got too grungy I would replace it, but that has not happened so far. As I say, I may not be the best person to answer this question. In any case I am happy with it.

over time, mine has started to slip down too, so i'm not sure what's going on if yours is new. i find i have to fiddle with it, by pulling up on it to create some tension and then twisting it slightly until it sticks. it's pretty finicky now...not sure why.

I would suggest scraping it off with a razor blade and then using the Goof Off to remove the remaining stickiness. Good Luck.

Mine has been holding on quite well. However, my backup plan was going to be to use Velcro if it didn't hold. Maybe that will work for you.

all sides were stiff and the velcro just held it in a triangle shape. sounds like maybe yours is defective...the way it's made it shouldn't collapse.

None. The pads have sufficient adhesive gel and will stick for many uses. When it no longer sticks, just replace them.

It was rubbery not sticky. I don't know what you need to do. May be it is defect. You may need to call customer service.
