8. To mount it; hook the short end over the plastic trim adjacent to a window. I have a paper towel roll permanently mounted on the tailgate and another that I use on trips to carry extra paper towel and toilet roll mounted on one of the rear side windows.

Increase the tension as the paper towel gets used up by pulling one end through the open hook so the knot is held by the hook and then the other.
