Toolkit straps

[Benmac]

Would someone be kind enough to do me a favour and take a pic of how the straps for the toolkit are attached to the boot box on their car? Ideally this is for a 720s but I imagine all models are similar.

Basically mine are a bit, erm, iffy to the point I am looking at it thinking "that can't be right".

The straps seem to just have had a sharp tool pushed through then the bolts (which just spin and won't undo) pushed through. Net result is that the straps are starting to fray quite badly around the hole. Also, where the hole is it's impossible to get the straps tight enough without the clips being impossible to get to as they're behind the toolkit. Although I am wondering there whether the absence of a warning triangle is what the issue is there as with one in place there's be more being held by the straps.[url][img]https://forums-images.

Can't see too clearly but the lower one is definitelyt pretty frayed around the bolt hole

Not sure if it will help, but here’s a current photo of the straps on my 2016 650.

Excellent, ta. Looks like mine are basically the same but massively worn maybe from being loose and the toolkit flapping about. I'm told it's sorted (it went away to have that and a couple of other niggles fixed).

I had the same “loose and can’t tighten because clips behind toolkit”. Asked McHatfield and can’t remember exactly what Craig said but it put my mind at rest. Possibly something like the straps are meant to enclose something fatter, maybe an extinguisher or something

Yep, it was missing the triangle, now added I'm told and that would indeed pull them out more.
