Seat straps-Ok when I get my seat adjusted it looks like there is going to be 12"-18" of extra strap. Does everyone cut these straps(Maybe 6") or do you let them dangle?
Thanks Jack

I just let them dangle. If you decide to cut them leave at least enough length to attach the ends together or else they can get pretty noisy on top of your car.

Thanks everyone. If you do cut them do you have to burn the edges?

Noisy is right; will scare the Be-Jesus out of you. The for and aft straps, I just loop them with a half hitch, and the center is what I use for picking the dang yak up with.
I think the center strap is for surf conditions because it sits higher than the tandem seats.

Once you decide; commit to it because it would waste some good rivits.

When you get ready to cut them; if you have one available try using the handgun style soldering gun. Just get it red hot and press gently down where you want to cut. It cuts and seals the ends in one stroke.
