C1 top tab snaps

[David R.]

Do any vendors sell the correct sliders for the end tab snaps on these cars? The straps on my '62 are fine, but have simple female snaps on them which I believe is incorrect - they should be sliders that mate up to the male snaps on the car. I know I can buy new straps with the correct sliders on them, but all I really need are the sliders themselves. Does anyone sell just these?

I would try a local boat shop or boat cover maker.

David:
It's been several years since I converted my incorrect snaps for the correct slider type on my '57 and '61. I cannot remember the vendor but I would check with Paragon, Corvette Central or Zip.

Thanks, guys. I had looked through most of the usual Corvette suppliers catalogs, but not Zip. They have them.

Thanks Terry - I do have a large boat canvas shop nearby, it can't hurt to ask . . .

Try Al Knoch. I bought mine several years ago.

Thanks, Pat. I'm going to Carlisle this year, I'm sure I can find them there.
