I was wondering how you all do your tye ups for a roll up dodger window, mainly what do you do with the dangly ends  ???
I have been putting the little pockets inside up near the top of the window so you can stuff the tye in out of the way, but I have one guy who doesn't want this as he says it's a PITA.  I am thinking maybe snaps inside somewhere ?

I put and all that I have ever seen is install a snap on the. Canvas so the strap is held up to the side. Usually with two straps on the window  I will space then so the there length and width apart works so they can be snapped to each other and not have to add a stud in the. An as  on a normal
Window the snap would be on the window panel up under then odor flsp of the top from or side

Thanks Mike,
I will give that a go on this one.  ;D

I do the same as Mike.  Never made a pocket.  Sometimes, depending on the width of the window, you need to add additional studs to the canvas to hold the end of the tie but I've never seen it done any other way here in S. Florida - except for those who don't pin them up at all and the ends scratch up the glass.  I've had a few customers who don't like snaps request Lift The Dot fasteners for this application.

I do that with the straps too. Or put a extra male in the straps so the strap snaps to the strap.

We make our front windows zip out now mostly.
