A bunch of snaps have popped on my golf cart cover. Does anyone know a repair person who replaces snaps on sunbrella cover??

Thanks

You can buy a snap kit from Lowes, Home Depot, ACE and replace them yourself. Not too difficult to do.

Hi Rubicon! I am assuming that the snap that is bad is on the canvas. It consists of 2 pieces, the outside and inside piece with the canvas inbetween. You will have to take the entire snap apart which you will have to do by carefully drilling the rivit in the center of the snap off. The snap kit comes with a set of tools or metal forms that with the help of a hammer and a hard surface, you assemble and align the two pieces together with the canvas inbetween thru the hole in the canvas and tap them so they attach together. They sell an attachment tool in the form of a set of pliers which will make the job easier.

I bought the kit at Lowe's several weeks ago. I have two broken snaps located on the straps that hod the panel once it is rolled up. My problem has been to have a lack of hands to hold, a hard surface in which to hammer on while holding the tools hammr and snaps. so far i have failed at it and realized that I would have to remove the panel from the car lay it down on a hard surface. however i left for a month and just getting back to the repair.

I was looking for the clap type my repair guy has but can't find one

I just bought the pliers-type snap install tool at Wholesale Marine - Boat Parts, Boat Paint, Outboard Engine Parts, Pontoon Seats, Anchors, Bimini Tops, Watersports.

I have a bunch of snaps that I have to fix on my son's boat that have frozen up due to the salt water corroding them.

Take a look at that website and see if it is something that you may need.

Good luck

The snaps have pulled from the fiber glass of the cart,leaving a small hole. The issue is not with the canvas side..

The snap kit that I talked about earlier in this post also comes with the studs that screw into the fiberglass, usually with a phillips head screw.

On the Sunbrella side of the snap, add a short piece of strap folded double and use that to pull when removing the snaps and the fix will be permanent. The reason they fail is pulling on the sunbrella material when removing. Strap material available at most fabric stores.
