I enjoy a morning swim at local pool, and last count was 2 noodles I’ve donated to road kill, from those naughty noodles escaping from snapless cart, giggle snort

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!
Some good quality self adhesive Velcro might do the trick.

I thought we paid $50 service call last time to a place on rt.441.
It was for one location and ok to have several carts.
So we reached out to some neighbors to see if anyone else had snap needs and there were several very willing to join in for the call.

However, I am going to look into that Amazon kit that one poster mentioned.

If you bought your cart at The Villages Golf Carts, all you need to do is pull up to the service bay and someone will replace it. No appointment is necessary and no charge. A snap pulled out of the plastic molding on my cart and they replaced it in minutes.

When your dealing with a repair like that its difficult for any shop to do it for free.
As some stated, just wait till you have some other work needed.
Obviously. if you drive it to someone, there is little to no cost
