They look better than most but still sag too much for my taste. Thank you for sharing.
fold your ends over and put in the grommets. No end to heat seal or sew.Every Paracord handle I have seen posted here and elsewhere has looked about 1/2 to 1 inch too long. This causes the handle to sag and obstruct the entrance, and provide very limited support. I understand the design intent (unlike the Wrangler the handle on the Bronco cannot hang under the roll bar) but I still think they could have taken some length off and preserve the functionality.
I spent quite a bit of time on the sponsors pages for this forum, as well as Amazon. Finally I ordered something that looked non saggy... but alas it is just as a saggy as everything else, see pic. Stretching from use will contribute to worsening of this problem over time.
So...does anyone know of a non saggy set of handles? I am at a point where I can also insert grommets in the ones I have and cut them to size, but I would rather have something with a more finished look (don't have a sewing machine so I will have to use heat to seal the cut edges)
I just got the ones from Bartact...but I won't pickup my Wildtrak until the end of this week at the earliest...
These look notably better than the Amazon cheapies but still too long IMO and, paradoxically, less suited for my needs. The significant excess length on the Amazon cheapies makes it possible to fold them over and get them to just the right length. There isn't enough slack in the Bartacts to fold them over, or so it seems from the pics.
I was able to fold the front two in, you can see it in the first pic and last pic, how the screw is covered up. The rear i left at full length, the middle pic, but you could fold them in if you wanted. Either way I am sure you will find something that works for yah.
Aah, I see now. This explains why they don't hang low. But you seem to not have driven the screw through the nylon strap when folding over, what prevents the strap from unfolding when you put your weight on it?
Not really sure how to explain it but have had them for two month now and they dont unwind. They stay in that folded position and hide the screw pretty well. Gives it a clean look with the hidden screws. Had they not been folded they would hang below the roof bar, which i didnt like. So same thinking as you. The rear screws are a bit further apart and sat right at the bottom of the bar without folding. I also have the bartact door storage bags. So that was also another reason to switch. Liked having matching gear and made in merica!!!
