can the clips be used along with the straps that go through the doors?

I found the clips useless for my car, Honda Fit, the straps thru the car worked out well. Over 3,000 miles, with 2 trips driven with this pack, straps never came loose.

It depends on your car trim. If the clips fit then you don't need to go through the car, just use the clips on the rails or on the door frame. If they fit and you want to go through the car anyway, I guess that will work but typically you shouldn't need to do both.

Not totally sure what you mean, but the clips are just attached to the straps that come with it. So you just attach the clips to the straps. Or leave them off to use with a roof rack or through the vehicle. We ended up running the straps through the vehicle because the clips just didn't work out for us.

You can use either one. The clips didn't hold on all my door frames, so then I used the straps with a cinch strap.

The straps and clips are junk. If you are traveling any substantial distance and/or at high speeds, they will loosen. I used my own tie downs. The quality of the bag itself is good though.

The straps without the clips are adjustable in length from 26 to 50 inches. The clips add about 2 inches each to these measurements.

There is a ring where the three straps come together, so you probably could clip there, but that's not the intended use and may not function well

I don't see y not. Put one strap in back behind slidind part of door then other rack on front door.. or if Windows go down on doors put straps through them

No, it can just be attached to doors. But maybe you can make a knot and attach it to a tree or something else, the strapes are very strong but were not designed for it.

Hello, the straps do pass through either the Window or door frame, so this product probably is not the best option for a minivan with sliding doors

no, the straps are fold over velcro, no need for clips. i have both and prefer the velcro, more comfy and nothing to lose.

Yes. When you get them don't split them open just slide it in from the front and let the clips snap in to place.

Yes. Be warned though my the clips for my cage don't lock the wire to the bottom but that only affects transport

As in toe clips? Not really. The platform frame is mostly solid so you would have to tap holes in it to put in the toe piece and cut slots for the straps.

No, the straps are not long enough. You would have to find longer straps or add straps to the existing ones.

Hi,Straps can go through either the window or door opening I guess. I always put them through the door and then close the doors on them. Not sure how it would work with sliding doors.

Yes. It has metal hanger clips that hook over the door. There is padding to protect the door

As long as you have a way to clip the bands to the harness I don't see why not.

Unfortunately not. That would be a convenient feature though. They can be a nuisance. Also, I just closed my gym locker and caught a closing clip on one of the straps and it broke, rendering it useless. Rather fragile plastic and I'll have to get it replaced as the straps are essential for any long or heavy carrys.

Yes, you can. The straps are adjustable. I use them to tighten the width as and they work great.

Yes you fasten with the provided clips. I haven't had any problems with mine
