Troubleshooting
Net is difficult to attach securely
Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free of debris. Check that the straps are positioned correctly to engage the Velcro fully.
Quick-release clasp is stiff or difficult to operate
Inspect the clasp for any obstructions. Gently clean the mechanism and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary. Ensure it is not twisted.
Net does not meet FIA requirements for my event
Double-check the specific FIA Appendix J Art. 253 regulations for your racing discipline, as requirements can vary. Ensure the net is installed precisely according to those guidelines.
Velcro straps are losing adhesion
Clean both the hook and loop sides of the Velcro. If adhesion is still poor, the Velcro may be worn out and may need replacement.
