Troubleshooting

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.

Difficult to attach to awning

Verify that your awning or sun canopy has a compatible attachment loop or point. Consult your awning's manual if unsure. The Touring Connect Set is designed for standard webbing attachment points.
