Yes,
Also have an Obie's Outback Rear Window Saver. (two atually, large door & small door)
After about 6 months or so, the original velcro strips as supplied "wrinkled" due to contraction and expansion and lost some adhesion due to water/dirt entry.
Simple and cheap solution.
Replaced the velcro strips (hook surface) on the glass with general purpose Velco 20mm Dots (hook surface) and have had no problems at all during the past 12 months or so.
The strips (loop surface) originally attached to the Window Saver are showing early signs of a similar "wrinkling" and I will eventually also replace this with the Velco Dots (loop surface).
My theory is that due to the relatively small surface area of the 20mm dots, they are not affected by changing
weather conditions. In any case, it has worked for me.
The Velcro Dots (hook & loop) in either black or white colours are available at most hardware retailers.
