i know it sounds odd but it really works great:
in the loss of velcro in the shop i have also used fine sand paper 500 w/dry .
combined with some simple green/ 409/ or degreaser of choice ,
to not risk staining the belt pull it all the way out before you start so if you oops it will be retracted in and no worries .

seriousley it works !!!!!!!!
What is the top pivot slide on the rear? The hinged adjustable part that redirects the belt 180 degrees, or the part where the belt comes out of along-side the door frame? A stupid question, I know, but me no comprende and I didn't want to velcro the entire assembly.
