I followed the instructions & I can't tighten the side of the vest since the straps hooked to the back of the vest are so long. What am I doing wrong?

Place Velcro straps across front. Slide one end at a time into rear loops then pull tight and fold back to front and it will secure with the velcro

Hello Patrick,You should be able to adjust the straps as tight as you want, you can feed the loops twice if it is not tight enough. The loops are large enough to have you feed the straps twice if needed. Please let us know if you have any questions.

no problem, each side adjusts individually, but it is a single VERY long strap threaded through the leather back piece. If you have adjusted the sliders until there is no room left and it seems to be almost there (or on the right track to fitting) do a shortening test. put it on in the shortest configuration it will do,pinch the single strap together until it feels right, staple it, repeat for the other side. Once it fits....sew the excess material to the strap or cut one of the anchor loops at the leather centerpiece, shorten the strap and resew.

I've had to adjust my harness several times. My dog was able to pull one of his front legs through the front of the harness until I figured out how to adjust it. I have it tighter on front with a little more give around the chest. My dog is still growing and I've noticed the chest strap getting snug so I'm going to adjust again. Play with the tightness of the straps and see if that helps. Hopefully the harness will work for you... I've just kept adjusting til I found what works!!!

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

I had that problem until I adjusted the straps tighter. I was losing weight, so the protector was sliding down. I don't have that issue with the straps pulled in tighter. The interior is foam, so it is a little form fitting.

I think I had the same issue when I set mine up. You need to use the small allen wrench to turn the screw on the bottom to feed the strap through the slot.

It is a poor design. You need to pull the strap real tight. Pull it to where the first access hole is available then go one more. You need assistance in doing such. We have a different manufacturer which has a infinite adjustable strap much easier.

I am no expert, but I would suggest that you try adjusting where you have attached the hammock to the chain that is attached to the frame. It sounds to me like you have it too tight. Try moving the caribiner down on each chain a few rungs. Give it some slack. Hope that helps.

This could be pertinent, depending on your build: I had trouble getting the shoulder straps to be narrow enough side-to-side. I'm 5'6" with a slim/avg build, and the straps just slipped off of my shoulders. Tightening them just made the pretty-stiff straps bend on their edges, so I returned it and got another carrier (Ergo) with softer/more closely set straps straps. Could be just me, though!

I think you may have assembled it wrong by using some of the wrong hardware. When I assembled and tightened to a firm snug level, they adjust perfectly. I would re-evaluate the pieces you have used

That's a tough one to explain, make sure you give the latches enough give then clip into your seat. Same for the back latch. There is a grey button that you push that will give you more slack for each strap. Once you clip everything in just pull everything tight. I hope that helps. Maybe they have some videos on YouTube to help more.

Sorry to hear that. I haven't had that issue with mine. The way I set the chest strap on my GS, is loose enough that you can run 1 but no more than 2 fingers under it, there will be some slack, however, I don't think is that significant; the other 2 abdomen straps w/buckle, loose enough so you can run 1 finger under them. I hope this helps.

I had that problem since the kayak was hanging from my garage ceiling and I couldn't get my car under it. I tied a knot in the middle of the strap and adjusted it accordingly. That worked perfectly.

you'd better buy the round attachement, complementary and cheap, because once you anchor this to your vests, it's difficult to transition on the belt!!!

I didn't use the installation instructions because they didn't work for me. I took the top straps and threaded them under the head rests and then fastened them and the bottom straps are supposed to be threaded around the seats. Didn't work for me so I tried to thread them around the seat belts but they pulled the seat belts too tight so I am still trying to figure out how to fasten them. Tried and tried to fold it back up but I couldn't do it even with the instructions so I just leave the barrier up in my car. It isn't in the way and adds 2 extra storage places. It's worked out very well for me since my dog can't go over it and she is finally staying in the back seat!

the straps are MUCH longer than needed. i put two twin XL (not adjustable) together and used about half the strap.

You are right....you have to hold the end of the strap that is a very skinny loop. Hold the two sides of that loop together and push the pointy end of the loop into one side of the opening and pull out the other side. (It goes under the little "bridge" that is across the opening.)Then open the skinny loop enough to feed the thicker loop end through it. Pull tight and you are done. Good luck. :-)
