Your local marine supply shop has lots of snaps
and lift the dots stuff. I added the double longth studs
to my car so that I can snap down the tonneau
over the vinyl boot. There has been a reported problem
with stretching the vinyl over the taller stud. No
problem has showed up with my boot.

The soft top vinyl cover is fixed to the body by a series of "Lift-the-Dot"
fasteners.
Two of these fasteners fixed to the body are "double length"studs, say 1"
instead of the normal 1/2".
I tried to buy some double length studs with machine screw bottom instead
of
sheet metal screw bottomfrom Rick at S/S and he said he doesn't have them
anymore and his supplier can't get them.
I Googled "Lift-the-Dot" and found no 1" with machine screw bottom units on
any site including the manufacturing company in the US. I even sent them an
e-mail to find out if they were available.
---NOPE---
I googled "google.co.uk" for Lift-the-Dot and found them at Tim
Hodgekiss's
site _www.vintagemotorspares.com_ (http://www.vintagemotorspares.com) ,
called him on Skype and he has 'em in stock and could get a 1K quantity if
Rick
wanted them. I reported back to Rick so he can get them if he chooses.
But: anybody know of any in the US?

On another topic, while searching I found an interesting lube for zippers
(same place, on the vinyl soft top cover.
See quote below:
"Zipper and Snap Lubricant protects and helps keep your fasteners working
smoothly. Zippers glide up and down. Inhibits corrosion and salt build up.
Easy
to apply gel. This product should be in every boat!
