My Suburban has something like this for the rear doors. It works really
well. Sometimes you don't want to smash your neighbor's car with a heavy
Suburban cargo door, and sometimes you do. ;^) Twisting the straps will
make them weak.

I kind of like the idea of twisting the straps to make them shorter. I
could see myself doing this. It's not like they need to hold a heavy load,
just stop the door in a wind. If the unlikely event that they begin to
fray, replace them. I'd even make the replacements myself.

Re: Move mirrors on 2005 Wrangler
Why not take a sewing machine, and shorten them a bit?
OR just make a shorter pair.
Nylon strap would be about a dollar, it would take about two minutes.
