Solution for wind noise problem

My slide toppers and bedroom window awning have the nylon straps to hold them in the open position. These are the flat nylon straps which act like a wind foil in windy conditions. Wind gusts produce very load vibrations which are very annoying. I purchased about a 4 ft. piece of the black plastic split loom wire conduit and simply cut pieces to slid over each strap. No more wind noise, and very easy to install and remove.
  • I just twisted my straps before I hooked them so they were no longer a flat air foil.

    This works. Same for tie downs for the awning

    Yup, did the same thing. :B
  • A little twist will do it. An old flat bed hauler trick. The flapping will stretch the strap and loosen the load.
