what are the headrest straps made of? my current cover (that does nothing, at this point) has an elastic loop and it is far too stretched out now.

The headrest straps are adjustable web straps. The only elastic is on the pieces that get put under the seat, these have not proved to be a problem because there are "anchor" type handles that get pushed between the seats so the cover is not being pulled back and forth. Hope this helps.

There were two webbing type of straps that were adjustable that went over the headrests and hold the top of the cover. The elastic straps go under the end front corners of the lower part of the seat. There are also two elastic straps with hooks that go under the seat and you can hook them on seat structure parts to keep the seat from riding up. There are two plastic tubes that you push down into the crack of the seatback/bottom to help secure the cover to that part of the seat. Does that help?

The straps are made out of seat belt material with an adjustment clip. Quite sturdy, well made product and my husband agreeded

I had to wait until it was a hot day and the steering wheel was warm. You might heat the cover up some so it will stretch also

no, maybe the straps are twisted inside or in the back. I recommend you either contact them directly or perhaps re-install.

The ones that go around the headrests work really well! There is a larger strap that I haven't tried, but it comes with instructions.

I have the same cover on mine. The dimensions of the seat cover are not enough to fit like it should. It stretches to barely fit. If you know how to sew you can sew two ties on each side to help keep it on.

I gave this as a gift to my brother. The slots are supposed to be thrown over something like head rests. Because his back seat didn't have those, there was really nothing to loop it around. I don't remember it being velcro but I cannot be certain. Hope that helped a little :).

I think so... I didn't take my headrest off... just adjusted the strap after I put it over them.

I bought mine about 3 months ago, and it was two thick straps the wrap around the headrest and then velcro together. BTW, it works great. No issues.

Definitely. I use my cover in a mid size SUV. It's not "fitted" in the sense that there is elastic all the way around. There is an adjustable buckle (think dog collar) at the top that goes around the headrest. Other than that, there is nothing fitted. It easily covers my entire seat (seat and back), which I like. I'm pleased with my cover.

Our unit did not come with straps and it doesn't say anything about mounting to a headrest. Mine is probably a different model than the others have here. You can plug it into your cigarette lighter or some other adapter and watch it on your lap. Hope this answers your question. Again, the model we have is probably different that the other people who have answered this. Cathy

There is elastic around the bottom on the ends to hold it in place. There are no additional straps or pull strings. I have found that my cover blows off on very windy days. There is at least one set of reinforced holes at the bottom on the sides. I took a piece of wire, ran it through one of the holes, under the car, through the hole on that side, back over the top of the car and tied it back down by the first hole. Even with very strong winds, my cover has not blown off since.

I used the plastic pieces on the elastic between the seat and the back....Just slide the elastic onto the plastic and tuck them in. It stops the cushions from moving. The metal piece goes on the elastic loop to attach under the seat. It pulled apart and you slide the elastic in. Attach to seat frame underneath. You then snap the headrest straps in. I did not use the elastic for around the seat since I have air bags. Fits perfectly and does not move.

Nothing, it did not work for me , my car seats were too big for it to even fit. I guess they are for compact cars only. I suppose you could improvise with bungee cords, rope?

I have not tried to remove it yet...but I have a fluffy blanket in there for my daughter and she sleeps through the night - hope that helps. I will see if I can detach the headrest tonight (now I am curious)

I looked at the seat formation on your vehicle and understand why you may have this problem. If you know of anyone that does alterations, they could easily attach a black strap( the same width) to the ends of the straps already on the kickmats just to make them longer so they will extend enough to go around your headrest. Sometimes we have to improvise. They should look fine!! Just an idea!!

I have one and its a little off. It might be that its not stretched enough, but i'm constantly pulling the cover to stretch it. I still havent found anything that is better.

I had the same problem with the straps and had to get a new one. So I don't think so. It's the weak point of this product, unfortunately.
