i have a mono M80 and the guitar tick and although I've only had both for about 4 months the Velcro has lost a lot of its stickiness. Does anyone know how to restore it? On the M80 it's the cable holder and it's the loop side that is showing signs of wear.

I'd like to see a photo. But, it is possible to 'clean' the velcro which can improve its ability to grip. It tends to get full of fluff and hair. Its also possible to buy velcro and perhaps you could replace the worn part but stitching a new part over the old?

4 months old? That's not very long for a premium priced product to last.
I'd have a polite word with the retailer and possibly email Mono too. See what happens from there.

Sounds like it's probably not even Velcro, but a cheap imitation.
Get yourself to the shops & buy some proper stuff for the job.

Having looked at the tick closely I don't think it would be possible because the Velcro is sown to an outer skin which then has an inner padding sown on the inside so you'd have to remove the outer skin to replace it. I considered replacing it with pop fasteners (I don't understand why any premium product would even use Velcro!)

I'd consider taking it back to where you bought it & ask for a replacement or a refund. Not fit for purpose if it's only lasted 4 months.

Velcro life is specified as 'high' for Nylon and 'medium' for Polyester, whatever that means! It could be a cheaper counterfeit brand.

It's not necessarily the right solution, but if you end up replacing the 'Velcro' yourself, Graphite Hook and Loop from B&Q is incredibly strong (and expensive, around £10 per metre). You could probably stick a space shuttle onto its boosters with this stuff.
