I know I have seen replacement snaps, now I need to remember where. As I recall these come with a tool to install, so this would be a DIY or handyman project. You might check with the local Hobby Lobby and possibly Harbor Freight or ACE hardware.

Hard to get anybody to come to residents for less than 100 bucks for anything. If that includes the cost of snaps and repair and you can’t do it I say that fair deal, not 1965…. business has overhead financial costs. Plus they have to eat too.

I’ve bought DIY kit, the “Y” is not working, I know business need to eat BUT “FEASTING” is a bit MUCH.
Two “itty bitty snaps” top flapping in the wind, guess I’ll live with it. What ever happened to a business doing good will, making a pass by when you have another job close by and charging accordingly, ugh!

This is one of many reasons I’m glad I bought my cart at The Villages Golf Cars. I stopped by to make an appointment to get a couple of snaps fixed. The person outside said, “I can take care of that.” She fixed it in seconds. She said “stop by any time you have a snap problem and we can take care of it on the spot.”

How many snaps you need? I have the kit and some snaps. The newer quick release snaps are much better but cost about $7 each. Live in Newell if interested message me.

Amazon sells them with everything you need including the tools. I have fixed several for myself and friends.

Any of the villages golf carts store does it for free. Just walk in to the very nice ladies at the service desk, and they will come out and fix the snaps.

HOWEVER, tip them at least $2 per snap. For 2 snaps I would give them $5. But that just me.

One of the many reasons! Same thing for me a few years back.
