Version 2.0 uses brackets & screws.
Most people don't apply nearly enough pressure when applying anything that is adhesive-backed. Typically they just stick it on and give it a push. To adhere properly the items have to have to have a lot of force applied, preferably with a roller or rounded tool (back of a screwdriver for example). Properly appled velcro will be five to ten times stronger than if it is only given a half-hearted press with your finger.
