if the straps get wet do they drip in the car?

Hi Paul, the straps for No Rack included with the carrier are water repellent.

I've had no problems with leakage with it falling over in the car but that was never for more than a couple of hours and I usually didn't have a thin liquid in it. I would try to keep it upright if possible though.

No. The straps run inside and through the car and are secured by the closed doors. We used additional straps, too.

As long as it's closed well I never had a problem. I threw mine in my backpack and tossed it in the car seat, never had a puddle.

the strap does not seem to stretch out when wet. it doesn't seem that it should be a problem.

Yes. Depending on whet type of shoes being worn, It can slippery when wet so I place a towel down where I step out of the car.

I used this on a Honda civic without a mat underneath and it worked great. It was raining and was secured directly to roof with the 2 straps that are included. my car does not have a roof rack but was able to follow the simple directions for a 2 door car. My car is old so I wasn't concerned about scratches, didn't appear to add any

Yes, I have had it in downpours. I haven't problems with water getting in. No problems with car washes either. Perfect size for my 2007 Ford ranger.

Zero problems with rain or car washes. I also live in the south where my car sits in the hot sun for many hours at a time, and haven't had any issue at all!

Usually, but not always! In heavy rain at highway speed, some water got in, probably from the undersurface where the clamps for the roof rack exit. There are flaps that cover this area, sealed with Velcro, but I believe this is where the small amount of water came in. As a precaution we always put a garbage bag over the luggage in the front of the carrier.

I haven't had any liquid spilled on the seat covers yet so I really couldn't answer you. They do have a good backing on them.

I wouldn't pour water on it! the bottom of the hammock has slits in it for seat belts to go through. Also the sides of the hammock do not curl up at the edge, so water could drip down the sides of your seats. It would always be a good idea to partially dry off your dog with a towel before putting him/her in the car.

They could fall out if you do not use the straps to hold them in. It is also very important to use your seatbelt to buckle in this unit to the seat of your car.

I think they'd be a bit wide for most car seat straps and would probably fall down. The Ergo straps are thick and they fit those straps well.

You have to be able to run the straps through the van at the top of the window. If you can do that with sliding window. If that mean leaving the windows open to do it better hope it doesn't rain or it's not too cold. You'll have to make that call yourself. But the straps stretch from one side to the other and the be cinched down tight, with no slack at all.

Somehow rain does get in through the back allowing things to get wet. Unfortunately, I have this experience not sure uf anyone else does.

Mine did not leak, drove 3 hours In a steady rain. You must pull the flaps down over the zipper.
