Is there any way to prevent the bag from ripping off the straps while driving?

We attached ours with a stronger strap, the ones included didn't seem heavy duty enough.

The straps should go over the top of the carrier. The carrier has D-Rings on the side of it that act as guides for the straps, but they are not the attachment method. You are welcome to give us a call at 888.685.GEAR and we can provide installation assistance.

I did not use the straps that came with the bag. I secured the bag to my luggage rack using bungie cords.

We returned it bc the plastic loops broke in one trip. We had to buy "real" straps for it at Home Depot.

Yes, you may need a support bar for the possible direct drop on your driver head. There is padding over the club area but no real structure at the head of the bag.

Happens to me too often. Seat belts do it. This one too. I still use it but take the phone out in the csr. Dunno whether that helps, but the metal clip in the middle seems to stop the other side loop from tearing out. Fwiw.

Also, there is another adjustable strap that goes about and snap around the actually roll-along bag as well. Hope this helped!!

There are straps to attach to a cargo basket by 6 points near the bottom of the bag. It never moved on me in 8 days of mountain travel.

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there. But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

If you can, insert your phone with a TPU shell on it.This will stretch the bag tighter and also elevate the bag off the screen around the edges.

I did that too for a while, but one of the internal straps got caught in my back tire and I had to cut it out, so I took both straps off and only use the front/back ones, which works fine.

I haven't been able to find any. I usually keep the bag snapped and pull the straps out to avoid this.

The bag itself is nice, lots of room and pockets for different gear. However the straps would not fit around my backrest. The company offers extension straps but I used 2 rubber coated, bendable bungee cords from Auto Zone on the bottom and 2 flat bungee cords from the handles of the bag to the chrome trim. The flat cords make an ex across by backrest which turned out ok. I have a Yamaha 950 with a Mustang touring seat and a wider sissy bar with pad. Sorry, no pics.

No, And I tore the top strap off twice. When I got in car and sat down it pulled to hard on strap that go's over the head rest.

Hi Maria,Thanks for your inquiry!The four compression straps which cinch down the bag are double touch quick release, so they won't pop loose at any point. If you want to completely lock these straps into place, I'd recommend a small, lightweight cable lock, to ensure its length can travel across the two top straps.Hope that helps!The Gear Out Here Team

I think I may have hot-glued a strip of vinyl down there...whoops, just remembered, the zipper goes all the way across the bottom of the bag and I had a mishap when the zipper gave way and my gtr fell out of the bottom of the bag. Luckily it didn't suffer any horrific consequences. I ended up hot-glueing the zipper inside and out along the bottom. It'll never happen again! But, despite this pretty serious shortcoming, I do like the basic design and features of the bag more than most gig bags I've had. They just should NOT run the zipper along the bottom, it's useless to do that anyway. Hope this helps...

I see no problem with that. I have two behind the driver's side. One holds all of my recyclable bags (not very heavy) and on the other I put a very heavy purse and lunch bag. They are very sturdy and strong. It would take more than I would care to suspend from my car's headrest to bend them.

Absolutely. Used mine for 12 hours of driving. As long as the straps are tight, you don't have to worry. 'd suggest putting something like a yoga mat underneath as an added barrier for friction - just in case.

To be truthful I haven't looked into it. I decided that the best way to insure that the case doesn't open during transport on the airlines, etc. was to use two side release nylon belts. Good luck. By the way , when the package originally arrived one of the clasps was broken off, lacking in quality!

Unfortunately, the straps are not good and the weakest part of the design. Mine became terribly ftayed in just a short period of time. Otherwise, the bag is good.
