[Tigers] button snap fasteners

You need to go to an auto upholstery shop that does convertible tops to see what they have for snaps.

 

You might be able to get behind the screw hole and gently hammer the hole smaller.

 

AuVeCo 14833 is a #8 screw button snap but I don’t know if it will fit or if it is what you need.

Hello,

 

The vinyl cover for the convertible top on Mk1A's and MkII has both 'Lift-the-Dot" and  button snap fasteners.

My question concerns the button snap fasteners.

One of my button snaps has finally made its screw hole too big for the # 6 screw. A new # 6 still is too small to anchor correctly..

Does anyone know a source for a button snap with the original size button but with a # 8 screw. I tried West Marine and all they have is various length # 6.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Jim Armstrong
