How do I clean the chest extender?

How does the hook and loop panel work?
The hook and loop panel ensures the extender attaches securely and sits evenly on the rug's front closure, preventing it from shifting.
Troubleshooting
Extender not sitting flat
Ensure the rug's T-bar fastening is correctly aligned and that the hook and loop panel on the extender is fully engaged and free from debris.
Horse seems uncomfortable
Re-check the positioning of the extender and the overall rug fit. Ensure it is providing adequate space without being too loose or creating new pressure points.
Extender slides during wear
Verify that the hook and loop fasteners are clean and securely attached. If the issue persists, the rug's original fastening system might be incompatible or worn.
