Suction cups not holding firmly
Ensure the car roof surface and the suction cups are thoroughly clean and dry. Lightly moistening the edge of the suction cup can sometimes help create a better seal. Avoid using on heavily textured or dirty surfaces.
Webbing feels loose
Re-tension the webbing using the integrated tensioner. Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the tensioner mechanism. Check for any obstructions or damage to the webbing or tensioner.
