So, you put the rear strap under the tail?
It might not look like it on the photos I posted (although there are more if you click the images and take a look at my Flickr album) but both the straps are held on by the seat, not by going under the tail (although I guess that's an option as the supplied straps are deliberately over-long).

The rear strap fits at the back before the seat's plastic end piece - there's virtually no chance of it coming off because the plastic end prevents the rear strap sliding off, and the front strap is in front of the seat catch. I loop the single strap (which helps to hold the liner closed) around the built-in seat strap so everything is very secure.

Properly tightened, there's no feeling that things are going to move around, although I have yet to do a long trip with the US-20... When I do I'll make sure to post my findings.
