 |
|
Anyone have difficulty mounting the coat hook on top of the straps?
All new straps / hooks from WW. Strap is on, no problem.
But I have *no* idea how this hook will fit over the strap. Screws look wider than cap. |

I do have the brackets, thank you. Appreciate the picture too, that helps (missed the bracket the first time around).
I just can't figure out how the hook "snaps" in place over the bracket ... doesn't seem to be a fit. Will try again this afternoon. |

it don't "snap" into the bracket. ^ there i said it slides down into place. put bottom of cover onto steel bracket and push down into place.

Bill,
Slid into place, but it doesn't "snap"? Just sits there? Here are pics ... if this is how it is, just seems a bit, er, unfinished.

UGH.
Got the wrapper, part # 301-829 from MidAmerica. http://www.mamotorworks.com/acvw?frame=1.6470
From the picture, though, looks like the 379-380 hook was sent (packaged / labeled incorrectly).
But THANK YOU for the help! |

Parts arrived today. What. A. Difference. Now I understand your "huh?" about the snapping questions.
Thanks again for the guidance.
