Ohhh snaps! (for my new carpet/parking brake boot)

[jeremy93ls]

For those who have replaced carpet and bought new snaps for the parking brake boot, what did you use and where'd you get them?

 

Yes, I've seen them everywhere from ebay to walmart, but would love to skip the trial & error phase. I imagine they would have to be a little taller than regular fabric snaps, no?

Any craft-type store will have them -- Michael's, Joann, etc.  They come in a couple of standard sizes; just get the right one and it should be fine.

Not sure if you have a boat store near you, but, it's another option.  They will have stainless steel snaps and should not rust.

Thanks for the replies, gentlemen. I found a cheap set at walmart and another set at Joann's, but the studs weren't long enough to work. Last night, I ended up removing the original snaps and carefully reusing them.

If anyone reads this while searching for info, be sure to locate snaps with longer than usual studs to make it past the thickness of the carpet.
