Canvas tilt bungee mod

BenNE · Jan 5, 2014

Hi,

Just changed the rope on my canvas tilt over to bungee but hit a stumpling block. When it is tied off, the knots tighten to the point they cant be undone easily. Will be impossible if they get wet.

How have people who have done this mod secured the bungee? I was thinking of toggles at each end?

is undoing nots an issue since its the strecth in bungy that you use to unclip it

For day to day use Im good with knots, Im just more concerned that is will stop the sides being released and rolled up in the summer?

hought the idea of bungy was to do away with knots if you like knots why change

I do want the ease of bungee, but if it is tied onto the tub fixings, then the sides wont be able to be rolled up without undoing them. I was hoping there was some sort of hook or toggle that could be used.

you tie it to itself or hood at both ends so you only stretch and unhook

Used elestic rope on mine for years, tie loops on the end and then loop over the tie-downs.
I open the rear flap every day and it is the work of seconds to un-loop it, playing around with knots (as per rope) is just not necessary.

I used para cord instead.
