For those of you using this to secure a droopy headliner...has this solution worked long term for you?

We have been using these since August 2013 and have had no issues with them so far. When I first got them in I thought they would be too long to go into the headliner in our 96 Camero but when my husband put them in he said they worked fine. It has been 3 months and I don't foresee any problems. Can't make any promises though.

We hung ours from the ceiling on an I-hook, screwed into a ceiling beam. Had to purchase our own hanging devices; heavy duty rope and clips. My husband can tie crazy knots so I knew it would be secure! I don't know that it is recommended by the manufacturer, but it worked for us since we had no room for the stand.

We used crazy glue and a clamp. Have been in place with no problem for a year or so. Good luck.

It comes with a steel plate that you put on the back side of the headliner. You will need to find another support though, the headliner is not strong enough to hold it up.

At good 'ol 'Wally World' (Walmart) the sell a velcro called "INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH" which you could probably frame a house with! Pretty basic stuff - one side on speaker, 1 on wall, remove plastic film from back of each exposing the adhesive surface... well, you see where I'm going with this :P Stuff is no joke either, in the event of an F5, in it's wake you will find a couple slivers of wall left a-fixed to the foundation with a speaker stuck too 'em. After discovering this stuff its a short list of things in my home NOT velcro'd to something. I recently remounted the engine in my car using it... ;P Oh and if you'd like to mount them in corners: scrap piece of plywood, square, saw, 45 degree angles... again, you get it. Just throwing the suggestion out there. Every wall mount speaker I've owned since this discovery has been mounted in this fashion. Even if they come with mounting hardware I use this method - the ease, security, and convenience just so far outweighs the pros of any other method I've seen.

I am in the same situation (I have an Accord). I agree with everything you said and I'm planning to do the same thing. For added security you could put a stablizer strap on, like this: CURT 18050 Bike Rack Stabilizer Strap

It's ok. I needed something like this because I needed to mount my Epson projector at the top of the back wall as I have cathedral ceilings in my media room and I didn't want to get in to having to cut in to the cathedral ceiling. You need to tighten the brackets really well or they don't hold very well. It's very unobtrusive and installs easily. I've been using it for about three years and after I got everything adjusted correctly it has stayed in place without having to make any further adjustments. So it works for my Epson and I assume that most projectors install the same. And for the price I felt it was a good deal. It's ok.

Yes, you will need to use some sort of anchoring system to insure stability. Look around the web or make your own using buckets, concert mix and bungie chords. If it's a calm day then the weight of the tent will hold it in place. We've had ones from other manufactures but for the price this is a great buy.

I just prop mine up on something but you could always try something like Velcro strips - they're cheap and can be removed off your car if need be - depends on where you want it placed I guess. I've used Velcro on my dash before and it worked good.

Rick, agree with the other comments. I use a small bungee on the front loops to hold it in place as well as make it a little more difficult for someone to steal it.

Tightening the straps to get the angle you want to hang in should keep you steady. I have never had that problem.

It comes off fairly (too) easily which is the problem. It falls off often just from the movement of the car and it is level. I would not recommend it to any one. It seemed like the perfect solution but was not.

It might work if you close the drop gate (I don't know if that's proper terminology) down pretty tight. I think I might have tried it at one time with Halts, which needs a similarly low broadcast rate, but I switched to a hand held broadcast spreader perhaps because it was less cumbersome (though I don't remember how well the Solo did with the low broadcast rate).

I am using one that way, hanging down from the ceiling with a clip-on shade. ... for several months, now. No problems.

I had the same problem, so when I wrote to the company, I asked them about using poles to hold up the awning. They said it would be fine, so that is what I have been doing. If you can find a way to make sure it holds if there is any wind, it would be the best way. I use rubber cane tips on both ends of the poles I use. Hope this helps.

I hang a lot on mine- kids clothes and adult and it torques a little bit, but holds up well. The biggest issue is that I had to glue the rods into the holder because they were constantly popping out. I have been pretty happy with this product. I would probably rate it 3 stars

I bought more 1" strap and more buckles so I could strap it to 3 places on each side...headrest, grab handle and I extended the bottom one to loop to the inner seat bracket....I also bought some pipe insulation (the black foam stuff that fits around pipes) and put that around the outside, dreeses it up a bit and doesn't leave marks on the headliner.
