How do you keep the paper without it slipping down the trunk? Do you glue the ends or how do you make it stay? Thanks Marilyn

I have used twine to secure the paper successfully for years--try it with Tanglefoot spread in the middle. It only needs touching up with Tanglefoot several times during the season, or brushing leaves off. Total ant barrier and I have kept it on a (mature) tree for several years in a row without it breaking down.

I'm not very speedy getting a job done. I plan to use Duct Tape hold the paper to the trunk, but haven't tried it yet.

I just wrap the trunk from 4 feet high ,or so,down to the ground and then add the ,VERY STICKY GOO,that you know as TANGLEFOOT, to the outside of the wrap. TANGLEFOOT sticks to the paper as well as bugs and squirrels and other pesta.

Yes - I used a piece of packing tape. I recently read that if you have only one or two trees, you can paint a plastic or fake apple from a crafts store in Tanglefoot and it will attract the larvae or moths, look perfectly natural on your tree and be easy to put on or off. I have not tried this, but thought it was interesting.

We put tape over the overlapping paper ends. We also purchased the gooey Tanglefoot barrier that we put over the paper and it worked great for us, kept the ants from climbing up the trees.

If you loop it through the 2 holes in the back of the removable bin and the stationary one, pull it tight around the lip and tie it by the hole, it will stay put. Better still, you can buy the bags made for it. Hope this helps.

I started at the bottom of the tree and wound the wrap up the trunk to the desired height. I then finished by wrapping a piece of strap tape (duct tape should work also) all the way around the top of the wrap, two times or so, taping the tape to itself. Worked fine. Make sure the tape is tight. Remove the tape in the spring when removing the wrap as not to damage the tree when it starts growing again.

I looked at picture on the box and figured it out that way. I use a sofe piece of material under each side of the part that rests on the trunk to prevent scratching the car. Rather simple I think.

all of my cloth bags rest of the trunk. there are 3 places to hook the bags per apparatus. if the bags are placed on the hook strategically you can get 3 on there and they don't move around.

You just have to get creative with it. Like in my car we used the front seats bottom hooks to go around the metal bar that your seat moves back and forth on. And in the back my seats fold down to get to the trunk so I tucked them behind the seat and the bottom of my seat also lifted up so we tucked the bottom seat cover inbetween my sear belts. But if I couldnt find a spot for the hook I just tucked it in some where.

I used a silicone glue to keep mine up. I generally have to clean it and put fresh glue on it once every year or two.

I take 2 or even 3 thick pieces of toilet paper & fold them together & then in half. this makes a thick "end paper". This keeps even my wispy pieces stay in just fine :)

I had that same problem. It comes with double sided adhesive tape which is what I used. It has been holding strong for more than a solid month now.

I had the same question... it seems like it's a protective cover that should be removed or something, and rather than forming to the body at all, it makes them just slip around. Does anyone have suggestions on HOW to use these? They seem to move around a lot. Do you have to use tape or glue?

I've had this problem, too, and the only thing that works is to use an edge like the blunt end of a metal nail file or something similar to scrape it off. Or you can wet the item and see if the paper dissolves.

I also have a heavy vinyl cargo liner in the trunk of my car, but like the previous post, not sure if it is that or the textured bottom that holds it in place. In any case, I'm pleased with the purchase and haven't had any issues with it sliding around.

Haven't had that problem. Have you tried super-glue or maybe an adhesive for plastic. How about contacting the manufacturer if you don't want to mess up the back if the glue doesn't work.

I just finished a paperback 800 pages. It works but the book holder is a little unstable at the beginning and end if the book when the book is really thick because the book is not balanced. I used a small pillow behind the book holder to prop it up. I LOVE my book holder

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.

Carefully and patiently. I have the same problem each spring, and begin by placing the center post in the holder. From there, I check the lines as I gently begin to push upward, adjusting any lines that have gotten around one of the arms. Lastly, I lock it in place and don't mess with it until fall, when it comes down again. Hope this helped.

I had a similar problem until I discovered that the rubber/neoprene had come off. Have not had a problem since. It stays where I put it and just leave it. Don't move it until I get a new automobile.
